DUCT TAPE the good the bad and the ugly

We all know that the good old fashion silver grey stuff can solve the worlds problems. But what has it done for your toyota and as the title says the good the bad and the ugly. I keep a roll in my toolbox for the just incase. Post your duct tape trail repairs,shop repairs and multi uses.

see i've used duct tape to temp fix a wireing harness as far as keepin wires from sparkin off one another, and then the first day out with my newly bobbed and dovetailed runner, the tailgate tack welds broke so i used duct tape to hold it on till i got home, (well i got home and was tired) so the duct tape still remains, and then i made a duct tape wallet to hold my wad of receipts and useless junk where money is supposed to go

I've used Gorilla tape and it's great stuff if you need something more permanent but I use duct tape for temporary stuff since if I'm taping it as an emergency or a repair I want to be able to remove it easily. It's good to keep both on hand.
