Default Standard or Metric

Are there still Standard fasteners on a new wrangler? I ordered some new standard wrenches along with metric but now I don't even know if i even need them. I just put on an flow master exhaust and it was all metric bolts.

Just thinking through things....if there are, they are few and far between. Seems that most bolts I have that are standard are things I've replaced. I still think it's necessary to have standard versions of tools as you never know what you're going to run across, but 99% of the time seems like grabbing metric.

The Jeep is all-metric. But, once you start installing aftermarket goodies, you'll end up with some SAE hardware. And, one mod that's popular because it helps prevent death wobble is the upgrade of the 15 mm OEM hardware in the suspension and steering to 9/16". The 9/16" hardware better fits the existing holes, tightening up some slop in the front end.
