x100 on the working on your own truck thing. Whos gonna fix your truck when the zombie revolution goes down....

As for the 100mph tape, its worth the 10-15 bucks a roll. I had 4 pieces that I had stuck to the bedrail of the F250 when moving a dresser. I forgot about them until I was on teh freeway. The pieces were about 6 inches long, and all stuck in an "x" shape. The bottom piece had about an 1 or 2 on the rail, I could see them flapping like mad in the wind!! They never came off. Sweet.

Oh, you REALLY need to pack some HD zipties and some lockwire, those are musts as well.
