Default List of tools to carry in the JK?

I'm looking for suggestions on some tools I should have in or around my JKUR. Specifically what size torx bits needed to remove doors, the hardtop etc, a list of metric socket sizes I should have on hand, and anything else you might recommend. Thanks!

The most important tool to carry is the Search button.

I did a search before I posted this, the threads I found were more about recovery gear than specific hand tools needed for routine maintenance. JK4x4wrangler gave me some of the info I was looking for. I was hoping somebody had a list like that with a few more things on it so I could go out and buy some tools ahead of time. Unwrapping my new parts and then having to run to the hardware store to buy tools to put them on is getting old.

A cell phone, doubt you will be doing much routine maintenance on the road.

If you go to the project-jk page and look at the different write ups you will find tool lists needed to complete many projects.

LOL. I think the OP wasn't inquiring about driving to the mall. Once off the road, out and away, the cell phone becomes useless.
