Coming from the BMW world I’ve found it essential to carry a computer diagnostic scanner. You can better judge how major or minor a light on the dash is to determine whether to push through or call a tow truck. Dash lights want to scare you to go to the dealer, but the codes are often benign or unrelated to the situation at hand but you’ll never know without a scanner!

You're a great JEEP guy going through all this trouble to show other JEEP owners some money saving tips for tools and stuff that will do the same job as more expensive options. Hope to make some of the JEEP shows in 2024 as long as they're not too far away 🤞 wish me luck.

Harbor freight has a nice rubber mallet I keep in the jeep, great for sway bars and is the most used along with my air down tool. Also like to keep a magnetic parts tray and volt meter on hand.

@Asymmetrical.athlete_ 3 месяца назад

I just bought my son a jeep for his 16th birthday, I am tossing in a bunch of stuff for him (stuff we all wished we had as a kid) and I watched this video yesterday. I also went to Walmart yesterday and as I was looking around I noticed that their wrench and socket sets have the 18mm...I know it's not snap on but it's for a 16yr old and if it get stolen of lost it's easy to replace.

@CMDR-Cody Месяц назад

A few extra things to consider. A small hack saw, files, and a rubber mallet. Oh and duck or gorilla tape. One time my window regulator died with the window in the down position while I was on a week camping trip and it was raining. I detached the window from the regulator and then used gorilla tape to hold it in the UP position and it held for like a month until I got a new regulator.

The proof of the tool quality will come when you do break down on the trail. There is steel and there is crappy steel. I can't stand when I am pulling hard, and the wrench breaks and I smash my hand. Would like a follow up video after you have used these tools for a while to see how they holdup.

@mattskillman 7 месяцев назад

Great video! I think it's imperative that everyone has some basic tools in their vehicle, should any issues arise. Some people may knock Harbor Freight, but for as little as the tools may get used, and are more likely to get lost on the trails, having something "cheap" is better than having nothing at all. All of our Jeeps have a basic roadside emergency kit in them that includes a 12T bottle jack, chock block, torque wrench, sockets and extensions. If I ever have to change a tire on the road, I have everything on hand to do a full tire rotation should I want to.

On the 3 piece set of "Handy Hex Keys" you can use a combination wrench on the shaft of each bit to get a little bit of extra torque to break the hex bolt loose. Great video guys 🤘😎

@explore_off_road 7 месяцев назад

This is a great one. Some may get all pissy cuz of the brands, but we aren't full time Mechanics, so these will last. And especially if it's tools JUST for the Jeeps. I have a specific tool roll and socket set that I load in the Jeep, then others just for home. The only thing I would say, is that the tool roll would have been a great idea. Just for organizing and not having to dig around. But a tool roll can get pricey, so this bag you got is a good start. It's exactly where we all started and then just fine tuned over the years... I actually just got my tool roll a few years ago. So I was a "Bag Man" for quite a while ... Many still are.

@BionMTG 7 месяцев назад

I did get a 20th anniversary 392, and although the mopar tool kit is hella over priced, it's just kinda cool to have. I have only been using mopar branded parts (warn included) for my upgrades, and damn they are proud of their parts, like the lights for example. That all being said, it's my bucket list rig, and will stay with my for a very long time / rest of my days (finger crossed haha), so I figured, build it the best that the mopar folks engineered, and the dealership can't ever complain that a random company's part potentially caused an issue.

I been running a craftsman bag nust like that for mobile tools for years now. As i get nicer tools for the garage the older stuff goes in the bag and i mobe it from the jeep to the tow pig depending on what were doing.

@jbjlock26 7 месяцев назад

I picked up a 1/2” drive breaker bar at HF, and a 22mm Tectonic socket on Amazon so I have a reliable wrench for changing a tire. I tucked it into a piece of pipe insulation and it can fit in the jack storage bin. Harbor Freight is really expanding, adding new stores almost everywhere. The lifetime warranty and improved quality is making it my go to tool store. The suggestion a Lou of people are making about WD-40 is a good one. I also carry a couple pieces of 12 and 14 ga primary wire, along with some crimp on connection, plus a simple voltmeter can be invaluable. (Probably more for overlanding than just a day in the trails)

@billveder1071 2 месяца назад

@petersantulli2337 7 месяцев назад

Great video. My rig tool bag is mostly Harbor Freight. As you said it’s not everyday use so why spend the money. Sure be nice to carry SnapOn but not worth it for me. As far as the extendable ratchet I have it as well and love it. I also have the 1/2” drive one in which I used at a factory hangin molds that weighed more than my 2 dr jk without failure. Few things I wouldn’t cheap out on; breakable razor get a Stanley quick change stronger, electrical tape always get Scotch 33 the others don’t hold up, lineman pliers get a pair of Klein the other work but the cutting edge is awful. Those are from helping out my dad who’s a master electrician and found those are not work cheating out on.

@LukeEdward 7 месяцев назад

For a breaker bar, I carry a collapsible lug wrench for the last 20 years. Mine was a “Gorilla” band but there are plenty out there. I’ve stood on that thing and it still works perfectly. Also, add a can of WD-40. Lay all your tools out on a towel and FOG EVERYTHING! Fill the bag and throw the towel over everything in the bag. I’d rather deal with wiping a film off my tools with the rag, than rust. And, let’s be honest, a cheap $25 OBDII scanner in a Ziplock can also be of assistance.

@xtek13 7 месяцев назад

I just purchased the Home Depot Husky 290 piece set $170 for my JL. Maybe you can review it. Seems like a decent organized set. But I was thinking of making a tool roll out of common Jeep tools from it. Then I have some extra money for other tools.

The adjustable 1/4-3/8 drive ratchet is crap. Fist use the plastic handle broke. Then when using the ratchet.. the direction lever always flops back and forth. Plus when you are trying to pull a bolt fast, the extinction slides out on its own and that sucks in a tighter space. And finally the 4th time I used it. I snapped the ratchet mechanism breaking loose a caliper bolt. Not worth 2 bucks its you ask me.

I work on movie sets as a set dresser .. this is also a very basic start of a set kit and I can tell you from Experience that Alle wrench set is horrible at least if trying to use on a semi regular basis. I would also never pay that much for the Jeep set. Honestly you could probably get it cheaper at Lowe’s. But have a long lasting set

Those Allen key sets are hot garbage. I bought that exact set and they are not holding up at all. If you use any of the keys on the larger side, the entire body basically twists (cheap plastic) and the keys come loose. This is one invention that didn’t need to be invented. Normal L-shaped keys are fine.
