Essential tools when out on the track

[aevo88u]

I’m currently finishing up my rear draws for my jk, and have included a tool tray.

Had a question, what are the must have tools you have needed when got stuck 4wd? Looking at purchasing some to incorporate into the tray, just want to make sure I get everything that i have not thought about.

Supercheap sell a great tool roll which I got and just added a few things specific to the Jeep like spline tools Allan keys, sockets, electrical tape, zip ties, and I have a range of globes fuses and electrical joiners...

Ditto with zip ties, electrical tape, SOS tape, fuses, clamps of different sizes, hoses (depends on age of car), a crank angle sensor would never go astray. Tyre repair kit for sure.

Ditto with the sensors although I seem to keep going through speed sensors not the crank

Same as above, tool kit roll, breaker bar, wood for interesting jack positioning, some duct tape, zip ties, and a few clamps. Torx drivers and bits after a stripping incident (no, not that kind of stripping. But which does that mean?) and the usual assortment of electrical bits I have accumulated like fuses and electrical tape and splicers and some wire. Won't need 90% of that but my garage is small so a lot of the stuff has just migrated to the Jeep and kind of stayed there. Recovery kit and cables etc. Is why I built a wooden secure set of drawers and storage for the back.

I have two sets of wrenches that go up to 24mm, a set of sturdy screwdrivers, big pliers, long nose pliers, a vice grip, a hammer and the usual consumables: A selection of fuses, 10A twin core wire, blade & spade plugs, cable ties, fencing wire, WD40 and electrical tape. I keep it all in canvas bags that I got from Aldi a while ago.

I received a torx tool kit for taking off the doors and top with my Jeep and so far those torx bits work in all the torx bolts that I have discovered, even the auto gearbox oil pan (don't ask how I know that).

If I was going on a long trip, I would take my 18V impact driver, a breaker bar and a socket set too.

Since my stock scissor jack is a bit rusted from the leaks around the tailgate, I keep a 8T bottle jack (lifts the bigger tyres high enough) and a high-lift jack stand that its foot fits in perfectly under the back seat.

And I make sure that I go out wheeling with people who are paranoid about breakages because they will usually have the specialised tools or tools that I don't have.

For longer touring trips I carry a relatively lightweight alloy trolley jack. Much prefered to a highlift.
