Jack stand 6 ton Harbor Freight has cheap ones

Floor jack 3 ton may need some 2x8 to put undr it depending on your lift hight. Got mine at Sears.

Torque wrench get a good one I bought a cheap one and I'm not happy with it.

Cool, seems like the same lists (mostly) from everybody. That gives me a good list to start from. Besides, already got the beer fridge knocked out!!:beer:

Great overhaed lighting, drop light and most of all a creeper. Makes getting under the Jeep so much better. Would not recommend taking the wife's good area rug and placing it in the garage :blush: because it is softer than the concrete. Not good :grayno:. The one which replaces it is a lot more expensive than a creeper. One last thing, extension cords which are on spools which you can hang from the ceiling. keeps them from under your feet, tires and creeper.

Lol!! I won't take that challenge MTG.

BTW, learn how to count. He asked for five tools.

I gave the OP a list of 5 tools he can buy...not everyone has access to a Sharkey or can afford your exorbitant rates. ;)

Couldn't have said it better might I add a 25$ electric impact gun 1/2" drive from harbor freight will make ur life a lot easier also. Might want to invest in a good electric drill and Dremel also I use those all the time but def start out with some stuff to get ur jeep in the air and some basic hand tools like metro. Wrenches and sockets and some pliers and vice grips too
