I keep a big cold chisel in my kit. Really saved a guys bacon last trip out to the desert. They flagged us down out in the middle of nowhere and he had a flat and had no key for his locking lug nuts. Was able to turn the nut loose with the chisel. Im sure Ill find other uses for it in the future.

Depending on terrain, a small board to put a jack on. On sand, your jack will just dig down if you need it. Jack placed on a 1'x1' board, the weight will be distributed and will work to jack up the car.

A CO2 tank has become a must with my crew. Had a buddy blow a bead and it was stupid easy to set the bead with CO2. No more weak air compressors or starting fluid and lighters

Reviving this old thread, because I keep getting asked to put a JK specific tool kit together. I found a source for high quality tools, at a reasonable price. This is what stopped me from offering such a kit, until now. I NEED YOUR HELP. I think I have a pretty good list below. If you can think of anything else that needs to be added to the list, please post up. 1/2" breaker bar, with a 6" extension and a 19mm lug socket 35mm axle nut socket 32mm pinion socket 21mm socket for removing brake calipers 18mm socket (often not included with standard socket sets) 13mm 12 point closed end wrench for break caliper removal 7mm Allen wrench for wheel speed sensor T-50 torx for door removal T-40 torx for hard top removal I'd also like to put a list of emergency fasteners together. One would be a control arm fastener and nut. Anybody lose any other fasteners on the trail? Control arm fastener and nut Shock fastener and nut track bar fastener and nut tie rod nut drag link nut (if different from tie rod) banjo bolt for break line transfer case shifter cable end clips I'm not including (because you can rob them from other parts, in order to do a trail repair); lug nuts lug studs diff bolts
