Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I couldn't carry all of the hand tools I own at once, much less fit them all in one carry size box.

Discussions have been started with our friend at Lista about rectifying the storage situation of my tools

It's all the stuff I really use. There is more obviously, but I don't use it frequently. That's not including any power tools (aside from the impact) or any of the woodworking + electronics stuff, just the bolt turners basically.

Off the top of my head -
* full sets of SAE and metric gearwrenches
* full set of SAE flare wrenches
* steering wheel puller
* pitman arm puller
* full set of screwdrivers
* custom made LDS-465 driver side head bolt wrench (long offset 7/8" box, 1/2" drive) - this is only in there so I don't lose it
* IR231
* full set of SAE and metric box wrenches
* 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 ratchets, 1/2 breaker bar
* 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 extensions
* full set of SAE and metric 12 point shallow sockets
* full set SAE deep impacts, full set metric shallow impacts
* a few vise grips, pliers, channel locks, lineman's pliers
* 1/4" hex screwdriver with full tamperproof bit selection
* E-5 through E-huge inverse torx
* tiny through 1/2" SAE deep 12 point sockets, 1/4 drive
* 6 point 5/16" 1/4 drive socket for u-joint straps
* T8 through T-huge torx
* flaring kit, tube cutter
* 30 and 36mm sockets
* big ass pipe wrench
* BFH
* 10-20 sawzall blades, cordless sawzall, 2 batteries

There's a few more piles of stuff that I don't bother to bring with me everywhere. This kind of ridiculous preparedness/tool and part carrying is why I was able to drive my XJ home the same night it got its steering box ripped off, and I now carry spare bolts for that :roflmao:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

tool storage!?

the best thing i have done is use tool bags. they take up very little room and make no noise at all while wheeling.

EDIT: there is one place where you can have too many tools. It is known as jeepforum.

Chris reminded me. Full set of SAE and metric allen key sockets, except for (iirc) 5mm because that one went missing.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I removed a pitman arm with a 1/4" baby ratchet and a small gear puller. True story.

i removed one yesterday with a d30 shaft hammer. beat that!

literally, its a short side d30 shaft welded to a giant ass sledge.

Cant forget a few Torx bits.

Just when you think you wont need a Torx bit, you do.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i'm considering just tossing the automatic transmission back into the 99 i'm working on putting together, just to save on time / not being able to assemble the right parts to convert it to a 5speed while i'm at it.

any thoughts?

Yes. Why fix what isn't broken?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

If you don't need it to get to work, then put it together the way you want it now rather than just end up changing it later.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'd put the 5 speed in. You aren't driving the thing around right, you're DDing the truck? Stuff the 5 speed in, put it all back together, figure out the pedal and electrical issues at a later date.
