Cool, thanks so much for all the advice!

The car actually came with a large wheel lug nut socket, forgot to mention that, so I have that.

I just had a quick look at the Service Manual for the transfer case, they do list the torque and special tools but I haven't seen the size of the allen wrench to be used?

Ok, I'll see if they have that here, I've noticed the WD40 because I saw it mentioned so many times now in forums, but I'll check for PB Blaster.

Thanks, we have lots of gravel roads here so I'm glad to have them, but it makes going back to 33" (as my wife would prefer) not likely

Pretty sure its a 10mm. Couple other things I saw in my toolbox I use a lot are a set of channel lock's, vice grip, adjustable wrenches, tape measure and a soldering iron.

 

What I did was, everytime I did a job, I added just the tools I needed as I went along. I have a pretty good arsonel of tools now. On some days however, I have wished that my only tools were a gas can and a match and even a few grenades at one point.

 

I'll check the size before I buy it, I saw they had kits that key up to 10mm.

Regarding the soldering iron, I'm a little worried I'm going to ask a very stupid question, but after sanding the rust away, would you be able to use it to patch a hole, soldier iron to iron, or that wouldn't hold at all? I understand it wouldn't be like welding it, but could it hold temporarily?

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

That's the plan Torx screwdriver to start with fixing the door, then ratchet wrench to do a few more things (oil change, take the bumper off...)

Check out the knowledge base at Morris 4x4 for technical documentation

There is also a good set of technical information in the Great Lakes XJ web page.

Pixmin;
Sorry friend but the soldering iron is to solder wires. Welding in a patch is best for repairing rust. Second best is either an all metal bondo or fiberglass bondo. Unless you just have to waste money on big name tools, check out http://www.northerntool.com/ they also have a lifetime warranty and they ship it to your door. WOW $150.00 to fill up! The next time I even think about whining about $60.00 I’ll think about you! You can also check http://www.harborfreight.com/ for less expensive tools.

 

By torx he means a whole set. The mm sizes are the sockets you need

 

Hmm, is 13l/100km a hwy + city or just city? I have a 4.0 and I get about 15.5l/100km with hwy + city. When offroading I have 20l / 10km lol. And $150 for a tank is about the same here. Driven small engine cars all my life and it just feels wrong waiting so long to fill up a 90l tank.

Tool wise I found that 8mm and 10mm are used a lot. 13mm and 18mm are getting a lot of use too. I suggest you get a small (maybe 30-40 piece) toolbox with a torx wrench + screwdriver + adapters. This will allow you to use screwdriver heads with the wrench. I found this is necessary to take apart some of the interior items where it is impossible to reach with a screwdriver.

 

Ho, I thought the sizes were for the Torx, thanks a lot for giving the sizes, it's exactly what I wanted to know!

Ok, no problem, I wasn't sure, now I know

Thanks for the details!

 

Ho I see, that's perfect then, thanks for clarifying that for me! That's the kind of details I wanted, so I can check if the most needed sizes and in a kit.

That's about 1/4 city, 2/4 highway and 3/4 mountain off roads. I have to cross the city to get out of it

Ho I see, I'll make sure it's in the kit if I buy a kit. Would you remember what was not reachable with a normal screwdriver?

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
