Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.

Gaffa, i like it. 
My solution is to ignore and accept any and all scratches scrubs and even dents on my jimny
But seriously I got a VW T5 "camper van" with a Fiamma camper trailer awning so it hangs on the side of the roof above the doors from a rail.
Since the VW T5 might be worth something when I am done with it, I put clear vinyl on the roof where the awning hangs.
Far from pretty, but pretty from far off, and will protect the paint.

Oh well, I suppose that's curtains for cable ties and superglue, sigh.

Gaffa tape on a Land Rover, what is this modern witchcraft of which you talk?
Bailer twine is as good as most repairs get.

Hence the other name, duct tape.
You know ducktape can seal quacks. but only quacks would use it on ducts. And gaffers use some other tape apparently...

No no I am most certainly not left out, love Gaffa and have Just fixed my 84 Gen.2 jimny dashbord heater ducts with correct color code tape for my Silver SJ410.Perhaps it should be
ガム・テープ
gamu teepu (gum tape).
(Japanese for Gaffa Tape).
Just so yakuza doesn't feel left out apparently the Norwegian is Gaffateip.
