Default Questions about set of tools for XJs

Alright, I'm finally getting set up with my own tools. So far I have no 12 point sockets or torx drivers. My 6 point sockets go up to 15/16" or 19mm. Also I have no deep well sockets. So basically I want a complete set of tools to do pretty much any required work on the XJ

1. What size 12 point bolts are there on XJs?
2. What size torx bits?
3. Are there any bolts that require deep well sockets?
4. What socket sizes do i need larger than 15/16 or 19mm? (aside from the 36mm wheel bearing nut socket, got that.)

Bolts for rear leafs, and gas tank mounting are 21 mm I belive, would get a complete set up to at least 21 in sockets and deep well. Also torx up to t60 for ofa. 16 and 18 seem pretty commonly used on my xj and freq lost in my garage.
