Parts only minitruckers would use?

I want to know what kind of things you have used or seen other people use to build there mini that usually would not be used on a car/truck? For example plumbers strap to hold gas tank in place when relocated to the bed (very common).

wtf? sorry thats a new one to me. Ive also seen someone use an old bed frame for the angle iron

i used cargo straps to hold my gas tank in the bed for over a year... it was a ranger

i had a friend try to make a firewall out of fiberglass, we made fun of him until he cut it out and did it right. hacks rule

Hardware store issue black pipe fittings used to plumb air suspension seems to be a popular one. Shop style rubber air line and worm gear clamps seem to be popular as well.

Sounds like you are talking about stuff hacks use??

Kind of off topic but I think a cool thing is parts from other vehicles incorporated..
