JK Toolbox - What tools to carry?

**Skippman** · 08-02-2009, 05:57 AM

I'm considering putting together a small tool kit to carry around in my JK in case I need to do any repairs while out in the field. I already carry a full set of sockets up to 22mm, a 10-in-1 screwdriver, and an eTool. What other things would you guys recommend? Specific wrench sizes, etc.

I'm not looking to carry a full bore tool chest in there, but enough that I can deal with most minor issues.

0-150 lbs torque wrench and jumper cables. The rest of that looks like a good setup to me.

Add a set of metric rachet wrenches, torx bits and crescent wrench. Ah, what do I know, I carry a full toolbox, 2 tool bags, and have recovery gear and all kinda crap shoved in every nook and cranny. But if you ask on here , by the time this thread ends, you'll have a good sized toolbox. Me, I'd rather have it and not need it than not have it and need it. Plus I just about have to have them for one of my jobs.
