As I'm in the laboriously slow process of making my WK2 an Overland ready rig, one of the things I was starting to work on was a small tool kit. I'm trying to get a list of the basic tools it would need, which size sockets (Jeeps seem to use quite a few different ones from looking at some of the Chief instructions), any torx bits, cases where a long reach socket adapter is needed, basically the minimum set for things more likely to be repairable on the trail.

Admittedly, any mechanical knowledge I had as a kid spending many a day in the bay of a Goodyear shop has long since evaporated from my brain, so this is a stretch anyway, but I want to start trying to educate myself again.
 
Horrible Freight has tool sets in blow mold cases that start at $40. These may not be the best tools you can buy but great for trail use. If you leave one behind no big deal.
