ZJ: Spare Parts/Tools

[codyhaddad]

so i have a 96 jeep zj and im building a storage system and i wanted to incorporate a tool drawer along with a spare parts drawer. im wondering which specific tools (i already know the common stuff like sockets, breakers, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc. its the more jeep-specific stuff i need help with) and what are common spare parts to have. i know one guy who carries a spare driveshaft on his roll cage since he constantly breaks them. i know another who carries extra belts. etc etc etc

Biggest things for me on my ZJ that wasn't part of a standard kit was a 36mm socket for the axle nuts on the front axle, and a tie-rod puller. Can't tell you the number of bent stock tie-rod ends I replaced.

I only carried the smaller one from a set like that (just for tie rods). Highly unlikely that you'd need any of the rest on the trail. However, a set like that isn't bad to have in your home toolbox if you plan on working on the Jeep a lot yourself.
