How about a spare idler pully :wink:

A lot depends on how mechanical you want to get as well, I know about every bolt/nut on the KJ so make sure I have a full set of those size wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, hammers etc. whatever someone may need to replace/ rebuild or repair.
Also spare ujoints/fluids/belt/jumper cables/ on and on

all depends really what all you want to carry

how about the fatarse allen for the rear diff plugs?

The most common sockets/wrenches needed are.............

10mm(1/4" drive)
12mm(3/8" drive)
13mm(3/8" drive)
15mm(3/8" drive)
18mm(3/8" drive)
19mm(1/2" drive)
21mm(1/2" drive)
35mm(1/2" drive)

1/4" drive ratchet
3/8" drive ratchet
1/2" drive ratchet
1/2" drive breakerbar
Assorted extensions for 1/4",3/8",and 1/2" drive

10mm wrench
13mm wrench
15mm wrench
18mm wrench
21mm wrench
8"-12" cresent wrench

2-3lbs hammer
Good size flat screw driver
8mm allen wrench(or socket)
10mm allen wrench(or socket)
T20 TORX
T25 TORX
E14 TORX socket

That is the bare basic sizes needed.

When I go wheeling in Colorado Im just going to bring Troy and Marty... Thats all you really need.

35mm? I thought the size needed to remove the front drive shafts was 36mm? And in Australia we can only get that size in 3/4" drive so we need a 3/4"-1/2" adaptor as well.

Just out of interest, why carry so many different drive sizes?

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ONLY: What should be taken on the trail? I have seen some of these threads that have listed everything except the kitchen sink and that was listed as a possibility!:-) I don't want that kind of list. Just tools. No parts either. The bare necessities please. Terry

People see things differently when it comes to necessity. What I think is essential might not be to someone else. I'd pick the stuff you feel most important and go from there.

I think most of you know I can't physically do most repairs but I want to have the tools to fix stuff. It's bad enough to ask someone to fix something without saying "oh by the way, bring your own tools". I would feel much better if I had my own. Terry

Yes tjkj2002, we all know you are a mobile work shop! I heard through the grapevine that if Detroit needs a tool they call you! Terry

Several places sell nice plastic cases with a wide assortment of metric/standard wrenches/sockets etc.in them. Look around for one of them and you would have most anything you or anyone else may need to repair a KJ or CJ. Would not have to be top of the line Sears/Mac whatever just a good set that will work and not cost a fortune for you

tjkj2002: That is a great list. The one thing I don't want to do is carry something that will never be used because of it's size. That would be just so much dead worthless weight. Kinda like my brain! Thanks for the list! Terry

reducers have the tedancy to be convienent but can make the difference in getting a bolt out and running out of room in tight spaces, i'd be willing to bet he's got the reducers in that kit too, i tend to carry more wrenches than sockets and when i remember i throw the roll bag of snapon ratchetwrenches in too

Just out of interest, why carry so many different drive sizes? Mine takes a 36mm. I do carry all those sizes in my KJ every day because I am paranoid, minus the hammer and two of the torx sockets. Besides the wheel bearings what else takes those torx sockets?
