I'm gonna have to stop at a surplus store one of these days and pick some up.
What's in your Jeep tool kit?

Lol!!! A tread depth gauge is great for when... I got nothing
I'm surprised you didn't ask about my protractor. I believe trail repairs must be done with precision.

I didn't even see that but if I had I figured it a way to navigate without a GPS using the stars and map..

Has anyone ever came across a list of all the different sizes of sockets that are needed for a JK?

Honestly, it fits fairly easily. This all stays in the jeep all the time.
I've always wondered how you fit 3 people in yours with enough spare parts to build a second jeep.

I only wheel with JeepFan, so I'm good..right?!?!

In all seriousness, I should really do a cross reference. While I'm not the most seasoned wrencher, I do feel it important to carry tools with you to work on your own jeep. I've got a decent stash of tools that hopefully will help if in a bind.
Need to look at stored fluids though. Extremely deficient in that area.

Cant wait to see your Barbie house after you finish building it. Lol

10mm-21mm will cover most everything besides the axle and pinion nut.
Awesome list!!!! I've got almost all of that too. I've started carrying some steel ( I saw a piece in your photos). I would love a wire feed like Eddie has, but I do have a set of jumper cables, goggles, gloves, some rod and extra cables to hook up two or three batteries. I know you carry extra pinion nuts too. I need the extra radiator hoses.

You can fit all the tools need in the rear with the seat but no way you can fit camping gear. Without the seat I can fit all my tools and enough camping supplies for probably 5-7 days for two people. Just need to pack it up properly.

When I put the Jeep back together I will make a detailed tool list and post it here. Of course we all have different mods but we can all tweak our own list.
I was surprised to see how few tools it took, one could definitely save some weight by being selective.
Great thread !

With the back seat out, I agree, you can fit a ton more stuff. With the seat in, forget about it. Day trip is it, because all you can fit is maybe a soft cooler on top of the essentials you need. This is why I might invest in a small box trailer.

Honestly, if you are considering toting more than one passenger for multiple days in a 2 door JK, you should be seriously considering a 4 door. If done correctly you can pack all you need for 2 people and the rig for a several day trip.

That makes zero sense??? With the thousands I would spend to get a 4 door, I could spend on a off road trailer. Like this.... And would be saving $$$$!!!

This is a few times that I've seen this Tekton brand of wrenches. Are these a good brand to use?

I got their torque wrench online for a good price. It's been holding up well. I'd be interested in hearing if their other tools hold up as well. They're usually priced well on Amazon.
