Jeep Tool Kit

(1/3) > >>

Robbie2013:
Ok, so I have been looking and can not seem to find a solid recommendation on what tools and parts I should carry in my Jeep when wheeling.  I have seen a few lists that involve welders, full tool sets, jack stands, but I am looking for a small basic set.  I am not a mechanic, but a handy guy who grew up working on my own junk and I am looking to get out of a bind if something goes wrong. I have a reasonably new JK, and primarily I wheel in and around Alberta for a day or a weekend.  I am not going full overland gon into the wilds of Africa for six weeks at a time.

Below is the list I have started and was wondering what people thought and may add or remove from it.
Tools:
Metric Wrenches
Imperial Wrenches
3/8 Socket Set (Small Mastercraft Set Metric and Imperial)
Hammer
Pry Bar
Vise Grips
Multi Screw Driver
Test Light
Tire Deflator
Air Pump
Hi-Lift


Spares and Stuff:
Oil - 2L
ATF - 2L
Brake Fluid - 1 Bottel
Tire Plugs
Spare Valve Stem Cores
WD40
Zip Ties
Bailing Wire
Duct Tape
Electrical Tape
Spare Fuses

Throw in your recovery gear,  jerry can of gas, wife, kid, Water, some camping or picnic stuff, and you end up with a pretty full jeep. 

What am I missing and or what recommendations does anyone have?

MattMan:
Seems pretty good... add a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher and I wouldn’t worry too much.

tiju1000:
What about throwing in some work gloves.

MattMan:
And you’re going to want to add a couple liters of gear oil to your fluids inventory.

Robbie2013:
Good call on the gear oil thanks!

I do have a first aid kit but should get a fire extinguisher.

Thanks for the feedback
