I don’t remember hearing Zip-Ties. I love Zip-ties.
I can't believe I forget to mention zip-ties... I have about 50 of them in my center console. Yes, they are a must!
Absolutely the first thing I was told to bring with me when I did my first off road trip with my local jeep group.
Yep, I have a bundle of them (zip tied together...lol) ranging in size from small little ones up to some rather large 18" long heavy duty ones.
Todd Dixon how about mechanics wire or bailing wire?
ZIP TIES fix anything with those
Brad, something I do once or twice- when I have a somewhat easy task/mod to do on the Jeep, I pull out the tool bag and use those tools. If I need a tool from my garage box, I probably need to add it to the trail bag.
Excellent suggestion!
Kent Matthew like that idea thanks.
I started working "exclusively" out of my tool rolls for the same reason. I now have some larger adjustable wrenches and a few odds and ends. Also cotter pins and safety wire!
I came here to say this too. Most people don’t need to carry every size wrench and socket, just the ones for bolts and nuts on your vehicle.
Excellent idea!
As someone who turns wrenches almost daily I will say this...
Organisation of tools will speed up most jobs 4x And prevent a lot of bloody knuckles by enabling you to have the right tool for the job on demand. Having the right tool that is hard to find... means you likely won't take the time to look for it.
Great video! Thumbs Up
Cordless impact wrench.
Such a great video. Organizing and planning is the key to keep it simple and minimal. Having this stuff can make or break your trip…or those that don’t take the time to help themselves!
I carry a portable impact wrench whether 1/2" or 3/8" drive for when you need to remove or secure them bolts with 80+ lbs of torque. Not to mention quick and easy when out on the trails. I use the Milwaukee Fuel M18 "Mid Torque" 1/2 impact wrench.
Like the bottle jack, and the
Extension tubes for it.
"But babe...I needed these new tools in order to make another video that'll help people"..😏🤣😂🎯👏👏👏
I went with the BROG Tool Pouch Roll awhile back. I'm happy with it.
Great video. Very well put together. You always seem so collected. I like seeing what people carry with them. It is good education for everyone. One thing I always have, and have used, are Zip Ties! I had to fix my buddy's fender on the trail recently and used them.
Great video as always, I also make sure I carry a cheap tarp with me, sure beats laying in the mud and if you drop something much easier to find.
I like a cheap moving blanket. It gives a little cushion, and can be used for sleeping to het a little warmth.
Yeah that or a old carboard box that can be flattened out. In a real pinch you can make gaskets out of carboard as long as you can coat them with RTV.
Wow. Didn't know that TEKTON had so many goodies! I have their sets of shallow and deep impact sockets and quality is ON POINT. Will definitely look into buying a few more of their stuff! Awesome setup Brad! Cheers.
Great list. Gave me some ideas.
Didn't mention a flashlight. Definitely adding the Blue Ridge tool bag to my list, I'm getting my recovery gear from them also
In the true spirit of overlanding I ❤️ how all your tools are color coordinated 😊👍
Great info Brad! We were just dealing with the ‘black hole’ bag of tools. Can be very frustrating pulling out all your tools to find one item! And it’s always on the bottom!!! Can’t wait to see more XJ videos. I just got my first Jeep and have been having a blast filming my new adventures in Jeep ownership.
One of your best videos, some really good ideas. Glad to see someone using a bottle jack, I've been thinking of getting one to replace the factory jack, I like the extras your model came with.
Nicely Though Out Bag! And You Are Right Getting Familiar With Your Vehicle Is Important!
This is fantastic. I thought I had put together a good kit but your video showed a few things I missed. Thanks for sharing.
Brad, good stuff. I am a newbie to Jeeping / off-roading and this was a great help. I ordered virtually everything you listed and many of the items you just spoke about.
That bottle jack with an extension is great. Will be looking into this for sure thank you. Mr. Brad
Small magnetic parts tray/bowl. Another excellent video!
Should do I lighting video for those nighttime repairs. Headlamps, magnetic area lamps, safety lighting, flashlights etc... Not necessarily Jeep wired lighting
Awesome work! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I have a similar setup that I have in my decked drawers. The key was having it organized and not just a big ol bag of tools. I learned the hard way when trying to repair on the trail, and it took so long to find a socket at the bottom of the bag.
JB Weld a must have. Perfect for your glue pouch
Good stuff. I carry all tekton tools in my Jeep. I’m from Grand Rapids.
I recently started to watch your videos, and I just really love all of your content. Especially during COVID-19 lockdown and with everything else going on, it’s been so good to find a new channel that had content I love. And it’s been so great watching and following your journey, it gives me a lot to look forward to once this is all said and done. I especially enjoy videos like this, and the ones from your garage. Very informative! Thanks for what you do.
Can't find the appropriate vid the couple day Baja camping it was outstanding listening to you narrate the vid while the gentleman cooked those meals was so very awesome,......
Definitely getting the bottle jack, Master Chief 👍!
Just my luck... I planned on making this video tomorrow 🤦🏻♂️. Great video Brad
Do it, I'm sure everyone would love to see what you carry and how you pack it.
TrailRecon packing it... 😅😬. You don’t want to see that part. Maybe that’s what I’ll start working on, I like your organizational skills.
I'll watch your video too
Everyone has their own thoughts. JK Gear: Make it.
JK Gear and Gadgets don’t worry, I’ll watch your video too.
You have answered my long time questions, on what type of tipical tools to have, I've asked friends I offroad and just get depends on what you want to do with your rig, which is true but it's never been answered and this simple break down and helpful link on some tools, I will be buying have helped me set up what I want to have with me, thank you for this video
Hey Brad, great video. One item that I carry in my Jeep tool bag is an extension for my ratchet handles made from a 12" length of 3/4" galvanized pipe. Note that one side is pounded down to fit my 3/4" ratchet handle and the other side is sized for my 1/2" handle. This adds more leverage when needed, and it almost always is needed.
I have the exact same tekton socket set. It’s a great set. If you’re gonna carry a bottle jack, you might want to cut a piece of 2x6 that fits in the ammo box. You can use that as a bigger footprint for the bottle jack.
Thanks for the Video. Very helpful in deciding what to carry while on the road or off road. Blue Ridge overland gear is a great product as well.
i have had my safe jack for almost 2yrs in my xj and it has been amazing!!!!! makes jacking up are lifted rigs alot safer and easier with there adapters and such.
Great information I’m taking a trip to ALASKA later this year not in the Jeep but in our truck and travel trailer, so will be using some of your suggestions. Always great information Brad.
Great Video Brad! It’s interesting going back to your earlier tool bag video and seeing the changes that you have made. The only things that I carry that you didn’t mention is a can of Starting fluid to reset a tire bead, an emergency hose repair kit and also emergency, air activated fiberglass tape.
+100 for the Colby valve stems. I’d never seen them before until someone broke their valve stem and someone else gave them a Colby stem to install. The tire was fixed and aired up within a few minutes. I carry several with me in the truck.
Master Chief I really appreciate and enjoy your clips. They are very informative. Just wanted to say thank you.
Love the bag. and bags within the bag.
Ive been using TEKTON for about year and half now great tools and great molded container's
Hi, thanks, this was an excellent "off road" tool kit review. I got some great ideas on what to add to my current kit. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.
I love Tekton tools. I knew nothing about them, and then a couple of years ago I was at expo west and I was working with Kinsmen hardware on installing a 270 awning to my jeep. I didn't have a lot of clearance between my jeep roof and my roof rack, and I really needed a ratchet wrench. The kind folks at the Teckton booth lended me exactly what I needed to get the job done. Customer service like that, plus the quality of the tools, make me a lifelong fan of their tools. Thanks for the video, super helpful!
Great great video. I have many of the items but you had some great ones I was missing. 👍🏼👍🏼
I would cut a thick piece of ply board to fit in the bottom of your ammo box to use as a jack base
I carry a separate bag under my back seat with an cordless impact wrench and impact sockets. Makes changing tires alot quicker.
I did not get the Jeep Rubicon that I wanted (could not convince the wife)... so ended up getting a Chevy ZR2 Bison... Now working on setting it up for going out camping. This list of tools is awesome. I have a tool bag with tools, wires, tape, zip-ties, straps, etc, and an ARB air compressor with their tire repair kit in each of my vehicles, but I have to say, there were things listed here that I had no idea existed (for example, that tire valve repair kit... very nice... oh and that safe jack bottle jack looks like a winner!).
Video bookmarked so I can come back to continue to add a lot of these tools to my truck. Thank you!!
I have that safe jack kit, great kit. The bottle jack itself is cheap like 20-30 bucks but you pay the price for the accessories which are quality from experience.
Great video!!!! looks like I gotta add a few things... to my tool bag
Great job Brad! Man, I wish I lived close, It would be great to wheel with you!
The blue Ridge Overland tool bag is amazing. I have had one for about four years, and it still looks brand new, and it is pretty loaded. It probably weighs forty pounds. It’s an awesome product.
Tekton great choice! Slowly switching all my tools from Craftsman to Tekton.
Wire crimper/cutter/stripper, a pencil soldering iron, some electrical wire to add to your tackle box of electrical parts.
Dude, love your videos! You’ve given me a lot to think about. Thanks!
Right on, thank you!
Nice dual band aerial on your Rubicon, I have the same mount and antenna KA6AIV - Thanks for the video!
Awesome video!! Keep it up, your doing an amazing job.
One vet to another thanks for serving bro
great stuff, adding some items in my kit per this video.
Awesome video, lots of great suggestions!
How about a multi tool like a leatherman. They have pliers, knife, file, wire cutters, Phillips and standard screw drivers and some have a 4 or 5 inch measuring device and it hangs on your belt. Used mine for 10 or 15 years.
Brad, another good one man. I love that tool bag, added to my wish list. Thanks for the links always helpful.
Thank you! I'm pretty happy with the bag and may even grab another one for some misc. stuff.
Rescue tape, spill kit, and fluid recovery kit. Are some great add ons.
Looks like you have a pretty complete tool kit. I've really grown to like Tekton tools in recent years. Fair pricing for a quality tool.
OBD2 code reader/scanner! I think it’s a must as rigs tend to throw check engine light when off-road. Don’t need a fancy one, but a basic one would be great. I have used Tekton tools for a few years now, FANTASTIC value! Great video, Brad!
At what point do you care about your emissions controls when off road?
Eat It OBD2 is for more than just emissions. It’s used as a diagnostic port for the whole vehicle. Definitely would be a good subject for you to dive into! 👍
Hello Brad, Some notes on the kit. The metal file needs a scabbard to protect it and the other tools around it. May be put the file in some plastic pipe, or wrap some cardboard around it. Next some Waterless Hand Cleaner. Last but not least and this may be not a tool but some large trash bags. Always a good idea to have something better than nothing.
Keep up the great work.
P.S. a lug wrench that fits the lug nuts on your vehicle.
Great video Brad. Maybe consider a brake/clutch bleeding hose and various fluids for you jeep. I also like to carry a 3ft length of 1/4" threaded rod - got me out of trouble more than once.
Like it. I grabbed an idea or two. I used to think I "over thought" having all the little things. I just don't want to be dead in the water for a simple to moderate fix that CAN be done along the trail. So I have packed similar to this for years, and have the ability to "MacGyver" stuff if needed, and get gigged for it by others sometimes. But then you see the other extreme, people who bring virtually nothing, and you find yourself bailing everyone else out. Even when not in my Jeep.....in my Ram, I keep extra JK shifter bushings.
Like your vids! Catch you out there sometime I hope. Keep 'er shiny side up ! Happy Trails !
Brad, I always have a head lamp in my tool kit and in my glove box. I also have a small LED hand held light (Milwaukee rechargeable) that has a magnetic clip. It has come in handy working in low/no-light situations. BTW, I am a big fan of Blue Ridge Overland Gear, they make some great stuff.
YES, the headlamp is a MUST. I do vehicle maintenance all the time and having a trusted headlamp.....well I always wear a hat and unless i am going to dinner I always have a Streamlight Bandit attached.
Great video Brad! I might add 550 cord and a small assortment of fuel hose and coolant hose (just like the spare nuts and bolts).
That Safe Jack is something on my wish list. Great video. You gave me a few good ideas. One of the things I always have in every vehicle I own is an inexpensive torque wrench from Harbor Freight. It is a peace of mind when changing a tire and having the lugs tightened to the proper specs.
No need for a torque wrench for lug nuts. Just stand on the lug wrench and when the nuts squeak like a school girl, Bob's your uncle.
Great tool bag! One thing you might get is spare belts and radiator hoses and heater hose. You never have problems with those until the miles roll up but, if you do need one, you are dead in your tracks if you do not have a spare.
Great Review Brad, thank you!
another great video full of useful information!.
awesome videos brad. Thank you .
We have the microstart xp10. It’s a life saver. I also have some blue ridge expedition gear too. They are top notch.
Great video. Helpful. Really like the six compartment bag! Great work!
Glad it was helpful!
Great informative video, like the bottle jack with the extension
I'm really happy with the Jack and you can't beat winning it at a raffle!
Brad, great setup there. I went with the Atlas Tool roll and it has been awesome. Really heavy duty and similar with all the pouches. It’s amazing what you can get in it. I also have the Atlas trunk bag and that hooks into the floor. No getting hit in the back of the head with tools!
I have the Atlas tool roll and bag. Freaking love it. I just need to skinny up my kit.
Hands down my favorite JeepTuber
Thank you, really glad you are enjoying the content!
Great video Brad.
Thanks for the info on Tekton. Been buying their stuff for a couple years now. Happy with all of them. Got a few Snap on tools in my collection, Tekton's tools are very close in quality for a way better price.
I'm really impressed with the quality and just a great group of folks!
I have toolbox full of their stuff too! I tell everyone about how you can't bet the quality for the price! Watch out for 50% off at Meijer stores on Black Friday!
Hey Master Chief! Very informative video. I have a 4Runner arriving at the Port of Houston on 15 JUL. I will put this information to good use while setting it up for off-road work. BTW, my first at-sea tour was a FRAM 1 Destroyer (Bausell - DD845) out of San Diego in the early 70s. BRAVO ZULU for your channel.
heat shrink, portable soldering iron, solder(Kester super 44), 10' electrical jumpers, oxy map mini torch, Zipties, link belt, silicon tape.
Thanks! This was helpful. With all the stuff you have I was surprised that you don't carry an impact wrench for tire changes. I've got a bad back and hauling on a lug wrench is no fun. Sometimes I even carry my torque wrench....
Great vid, thanks. A couple of pry bars of different sizes and shapes. A couple of punches. Piece of pipe as a cheater (and often gets used to bang on things or used like a punch). 12v test light. (I like the multimeter, am going to add mine to my kit, thx) and a small mirror.
Great video ! Thank you for sharing! Time to head to Home Depot!
Great advice about the bag verses the medal tool box in case of a rollover...safety 1st
I’ve saved three of your videos of what to have in your jeep. Good job good to know and thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
12volt test light. Good video
Love this video, very helpful!
Awesome video! We are busy developing a 4x4 Tool Kit Set here in South Africa with Gedore Tools and your video was a 10 out of 10
Great content as always, very informative. Thanks Brad
Thank you!
Looks like my old tool set up. Now all i carry is two screw drivers, a hammer, a 3/8 racket, with 10mm,12mm,14mm and 17mm. Combo wrenches in same sizes. And a 1/2 rachet with axle socket. And a hammer. Less is more. Ive never even needed these tools on a camping trip or trail and my tacoma is a 2012. My 94 land cruiser has a few more tools buts basically the same. I totally understand why you jeep guys carry so many tools though lol.
Nice Master Chief shadow box on the wall! Go Navy!
very helpful! thanks for sharing
Factor55 shorty straps are pretty nice to have. You can use your winch to straighten tie rods, etc.
That bottle jack kit is nice.
Great video. This is something I have needed to upgrade with my Jeep gear, but I think your suggestions are going to cost me a couple Benjamin’s. THANKS! 😁
Very informative video Brad! I noticed I’m missing some tools in my BROG tool bag!
Great video. Personally I have a torque wrench. I’m obsessed with getting the right torque when I need to change a tire.
