Duct Tape Job

Hey everyone, just wondering what some of your duct tape stories are with your rangers?? I just had to put some on mine for the first time since i bought the truck. Its an 87 so i dont think im doing to bad. My mirror on the drivers side got loose where it mounted into the aluminum arm that attactches the mirror to the arm where it sits on. It got loose and started to spin when i was driving, so i put a little piece on the mirror to the frame so i can see can actually use the mirror until i get it fixed! Anyone got any more stories??

No stories from me, but I was a little anxious to read what your duct tape incident included, lol. I was like, I really hope he's not holding the steering linkage together or holding his alternator on, haha.

I borrowed some to use to secure my wood cutting tag to my wood racks last fall. I forgot to bring a few nails along that morning .

I've used it for weatherstripping on my windows, and to hold wires in place for the speakers under my floormats on the truck, even to bundle wires together. GIT R DONE! duct tape is the greatest tool on earth.

Duct tape, WD-40, and TNT. If you can't fix it with that, don't bother trying.

I duct taped the entire front of my truck back together post-mailbox incident. Bumper, grille, header panel, headlight, and hood. All held nicely together by that grey Godsend. Love that stuff.
