Just looking to see what kinda tools you guys are carrying with you in your jeep on a regular basis...you know, like specific wrench/socket sizes and what not. girlfriend got me a gift card for sears so figured id use it to start stocking up on jeep only tools!!!

For specific tools, I carry a breaker bar and sockets for my spare and the lock/keys for it. Beyond that I have rope, ty-wraps, lineman pliers, hammer, 2 larger adjustable wrenches, needle nose pliers, a 6-in-1 screwdriver with nut driver ends, and a good pair of gloves. The extra stuff I carry is on my Vector MP table: fire extinguisher and filing shovel. I may be missing a tool or two, just going off the top of my head of what's in the tool bag.

At a minimum I carry a leatherman. I'd also carry a good set of torx bits and a ratchet. Another idea would be a lug wrench/breaker bar (I usually carry a regular wrench with the right socket - the supplied lug wrench can be a pain to use).

The only thing I would add
Would be the socket for the front spindle

Nibsirb

any idea the size of the spindle?

thanks for the replies, I hate not having anything with me at the moment

Here's my list. I have most of it. This is specific to my jeep though. Some sizes may be different because of certain mods. All the ratchets, sockets and wrenches fit in a small plastic tool box. Almost small enough to store under the back seat. For now I keep it locked in a Stanley Fat Max Truck box that fits snugly behind the rear seats, along with fluids and recovery gear. I plan to make a trunk type set up eventually.

Rubichronic - you're my hero. Awesome list.

Lol! Thanks. I put this together a few weeks ago before going to the Rubicon. Some of it I knew from putting in my lift with the help of some friends. Some of it I crawled around under the jeep and checked sizes on every nut and bolt I could find. And some others came from guys in my local club after I posted a thread on there looking for more info and so others could use it. Keep in mind this is specific to a 2011 JKU Rubi, so it's a good idea to verify all sizes on your own rig as well. I'm sure there will be more added as well. Hope this helps.
