I carry this plus a few things not in the picture like the hi-lift,, arb compresser,, gloves,,, flashlight ect. This stuff stays in all the time. When I go wheeling I have a bag with a few more hand tools,, but not many. Plus food and drink.

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

Tools for removing a steering box might be worth putting in since I have had mine die and know a few other that were swapped on the trail. So a Pitman arm puller since the socket you have listed should be large enough for the sector shaft nut.
What about a valve stem tool?
Oh and what about a plastic trim removal tool.

Yes, I need to figure something out for the pitman arm. My latest list has a picklefork, so that should help with the one end. Not sure about the sector shaft end though
