CherockeeXJ

I just bought my first Jeep, 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2L V8.

I already have a Mag and Fire Extinguisher. What else do you always have with you?

Bustedback

Cell phone and tire changing tools. Less weight equals better fuel mileage. No need for a huge box of tools in the back for my daily duties. Off-road is a slightly different story, but it's only very basic hand tools that I bring.

JeepingDan

Same thing. I carry light.

Lowrange2

I carry a small 50 pc Craftsman socket set with a few screw drivers, pliers, basic hand tool stuff. OEM jack, lug wrench and a tire plug kit. I also carry a back pack with recovery stuff in it (Gloves, ****** block, winch remote, tree saver and a tow strap)

All of that fits in a small Rubbermaid tote in the back.

I always carry extra mixed coolant, its good for when you blow a hose which happened to me offroading. oil and tools are good too

dnuccio

2 jugs of coolant, a few towels, tow strap, few different hooks, a few shackles, rachet strap, spare crank sensor, tire plug kit, lug wrench, factory bottle jack, jumper cables, trailering accessories (draw bar, 7 pin to 4 pin adapter, etc), first aid kit (bandaids, gauze, latex gloves, tweezers, condoms, disinfecting wipes, razor blades), misc. wire and connectors, big roll of gorilla tape, few hundred zip ties, test light, fuses, basic hand tools

CrawdadSlim

A butane stove, aluminum baseball bat, coffee pot, hatchet, and mapp gas torch(along with some of the other suggested items) have served me well.

I will fully admit that I carry way to much in the back of my XJ. I'm an old Boy Scout from WAY back (currently an Assistant Scoutmaster) and I like to Be Prepared (Boy Scout Motto). I'm poor and I can't afford a towing bill or a bill for someone else to work on my rig so, I have enough tools to do "almost" any repair. Any of the more specialty tools, I keep in my big tool box at home.

I believe in the same motto as scottmphoto...

2 tool boxes of regular tools and specialty tools... a milk crate with no... no milk... but of all liquids the jeep would need, another tool boxes of assortment stuff (nails, screws, grommets, hoses, and etc...) and a tin crate with some extra pieces in ( hoses, pvc, anything related to engine or suspension)
