    I think this is a good compromise between a silicone ring and getting a permanent tattoo, haha.

    It's actually only been on my finger once and that was for the ceremony. I knew I'd never be able to wear it climbing so it got put on an piece of 4mm perlon. It's been over 6 years with no issues. Well, with the ring set-up that is. lol

    I regret not getting better leaf springs on when Toyota dealership replaced my frame. They didn't offer, I didn't ask! Need better shocks, just got the basics. Otherwise, 315000 miles on the engine and runs great! One thing I don't regret, changing the oil every 3000 and a tune up every two years. Daily driver, and has started every time since owning!

    So far my only regret with the build would be not mounting my led lights in a better position. Did not realize there was a good amount of space between the plastic and metal on the bumper. One of my lights mounted lopsided so I had to put washers under the light bracket to even it out lol And one is further out than the other, but you wont notice unless you're staring hard :( Overall should've taken my time

    Led light bar that I have never needed once in two years. I do use it but it's always unnecessary. At least it's not a snorkel.

    Reading about 220, yeah wish I had done that a lot earlier- just finally getting 220 routed to the garage.

    I love being able to achieve a tan in a matter of minutes that most chicks spend weeks trying to achieve by sitting at the pool. Splatter doesnt bother me anymore, except in the ear, or on the kneecap if Im kneeling.
