Hey my daughter has a pink barbie jeep. At least she is starting out in a 4x4. She is 3 and has had it for over a year. When she first got it she couldnt steer it. She knows what the skinny petal is for though.

Lift your truck enough to clear 37's, then run them on 24" wheels so you still only have 3" of sidewall. SWEET

haha... there you go.
I was looking at one of the new electric F150s, but they're freaking pricey!
I ended up getting mine a little 4 wheeler.
She goes through the ruts I made in the back yard and when she gets stuck she rocks it until she gets out, but her steering needs work.

The tires would rub at full turn, so I gave it about a 3/4 " lift. Good to go now.

That's true! Doing a good job, must have some free time or feel like being a good samariten(spelt it wrong).

Anyway, there sure are a lot of winny babys on FTE. In every forum too.... well, they don't last long in this one though.

I don't know what to call it.
There's no suspension, and I don't even want to say the other word (I don't use profanity like that)

When she'd turn the lugs were hitting the inner fender(didn't want them to start tearing off, got to watch that plastic). I was either going to pull out the sawzall or lift it... the leveling kit turned out to be easier.
Thinking of getting some bigger tires or get her something better so she can make that one her off road only vehical.

I was thinking of doing that very same thing, but it goes inside everynow and then, and on concrete pretty often.

It only has a open diff to.

There's no possible way to spool it either. I wish I could though.
