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.

hi all
I would add a 3/4, yes!, rachet or breaker bar and 30mm 32mm 36mm sockets for the big stuff. Also I use a 1/2 breaker bar and IRC 3/4 inch socket for tire lug nut removal, better then stock set. Also at home use el cheapo (Harbor F) 1/2 impact drill for tough lug nuts. Too many sprained injuries for old timer. Good set of pullers from 2 jaw to big 4 jaw. and clamp looking thingy you tighten to pop out tie rod ends. Also have 20 piece clamp and socket set for ball joints and ujoints.................I will remember more stuff later..............
