when you run your truck without a boy and you flip doesnt scratch the cooling hea, on the fuel tank you dont need to take the body of t refuel, on the body clips i use them so i wont loose the clips

whoever had thought of that first is a genius... I even think they look cool.

On the cooling head they need to be replaced from time to time... they tend to harden and break due to the engine heat.

I did manage to melt two zip ties i had around my exhaust header
I was using them to hold a bit of fuel tubing in between the header & tvp.

use them to fasten your air filter snuggly, and fuel lines too. you can also use them to neaten up your radio gear(wires etc...)
