What JK specific tools do you carry?

[AggieOE]

That being said, I'd answer with all the crap I carry, but probably none of it applies to a more modern and reliable jeep.

Yeah.... I carry my USAA insurance card with roadside assistance and Jeep's service phone number.

But like all real mean, I always keep a knife, duct tape, Zip-ties and of course, WD40. Oddly enough, I've never used WD40 while traveling. I have definitely used all of the others though.

It's possible my impact has torqued on yours more than it's torqued on mine :hehe:

Truth!!

Thanks for all the awesome answers guys! Sorry for just now responding to my original post. Truth be told, I completely forgot I posted this (I've had an insane two weeks). This helps a lot

JK-specific? Probably just the AEV Procal (it's awesome for holding a specific RPM during winching). Everything else could be used with another truck.

Here is a list that I found and I use Atlas 46 tool bags for my tools.

Not vehicle specific but in my 3B I carry about everything in a big tool box that doubles as a rear seat. About as many tools and parts as are in my garage. I think I've dug a screwdriver out of it but other friends seem to like the fact that everything is in camp for them to do repairs. It also helps to have a few other idiots around to help screw up any repair job.
Have a beer and watch the show.
Actually, I have a holdover from my old Harley days, a 4" Crescent wrench in my pocket. It gets used more than you would think by people.
