When you are pushing the limits of your Jeep off-road it is important that you hit the trail prepared with some common tools that every Jeep owner should have in their toolbox. 1. Complete Set of Metric and SAE Sockets: You have tons of options here from building out a custom set to picking up a 200+ piece set from Craftsman. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2H9mgEv 2. Torx Wrench: It doesn't take long working on a a Jeep to notice just how many times you are going to use these. The star shaped pattern on the end is what differentiates these from other tools like an Allen Wrenches. From adjusting your headlight beam to removing fasteners they are a must have item in your Jeep tool kit. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HaDAZK 3.

Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/302O052 4. Jack: You need some kind of Jack if you have a lift kit. We recommend picking up a high-lift Jack. If your factory bottle Jack will suffice great. But keep in mind if you are off-road and need that extra height a high-lift can be a life saver. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2VUAXDE 5. OBD Scanner: If you are running a 1996 or newer Jeep we HIGHLY recommend picking up an OBD scanner which will help you diagnosis and clear up pesky codes showing on your dash. Knowing the difference between a simple error and something that could cause catastrophic failure in your rig is very nice to know! Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YiGMrN 6. Tire Repair Kit: If you plan to take your Jeep off-road (which we highly recommend) having a quality tire repair kit is essential. Being able to plug a punctured tire out on the trail could not only save you money but may end up saving your life. There are dozens of options out on the market place but we really like the kit from ARB. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YgZ1OA 7.

Whether you are checking the pressure as you air down or you are helping out with a road side tire repair you need one of these. Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YfNI9g 8.

Repair Manual: Having a repair manual handy is a life saver when making a repair on the trail that requires a specific torque setting.
