I know i use zip ties wayyy to much, so what are they holding together on ur camino.

Currenty zipties are holding my spark plug wires together and away from my headers, and zipties are holding my SS airdam up because the bolt holes ripped out.

Any other interesting uses?

Funny you should ask, I use nylon ZIP ties for everything...

Just put a chain of them on my elky today to strap down the battery from moving around.

My wife's ford Windstar van has them holding the front bumper cover on.

When my pants are loose and bugging me I put a zip tie between two belt loops and tighten.

I had a hovercraft, the factory design implements hundreds of zip ties to hold the skirt segments on... makes it easy to change damaged segments in the field with virtually no tools.

Kid need braces? Orthodontist too expensive.... ZIP TIES!!! easy to adjust too.

I've got some holding my power/starter wires off the header right now. I had one holding my kickdown cable to the carb for the last 2 years before I finally fixed it right :mrgreen:

I have some holding the air lines for the shocks to the frame and some holding wires together. I have a bunch under the dash holding the bundle together. Nothing mechanical is being supported by them.

I am holding my spark plug wires together and the two hoses from the heater are strpped in tandem. I have also tied back certain wires...I love them!
