Afternoon everyone

)

Equipment wise my jeep has all the goodies but one thing it doesn't have is a tool kit....SO, what tools does everyone reckon are an absolute must? Say, top fifteen tools and size sockets / bits and bobs?

Don't want to be in the middle of nowhere and need a 16mm deep socket and only have a shallow one etc etc.

I'm sure there have been times when you've needed to repair something on the trail or side of the road and didn't have what you needed.

Cheers

DB

Wheel brace, jack, AA card.

Are there that many jobs that you could do by the side of the road that wouldn't need a new part anyway?
