In my quest to prepare for the upcoming Moab trip, I have been needing to put together a tool kit to cover the basics in the event of a breakdown. This is my first shot at this particular kit, and I'm sure I will make some changes over time, but here is what I ended up with.
Jeep Tool List

Lug Nut Keys
2 lint free rags

Tool Bags
Brake cleaner
Pb blaster
Anti-seize
Thread sealant
Engine oil
The list makes it look like so much until you see it all laid out on my workbench. almost every single one of these tools was used in the build of my jeep over the last couple of years. My goal, was to NOT have to carry a complete set of tools and instead only compile a list of Jeep specific tools. These all came from my tool collection in my garage, so if this ends up working out well, than I will repurchase most of them so that they are kept in the jeep full time.
My next decision came with trying to figure out how to store these tools. After a trip to Menards, I ended up deciding to go with the backpack tool bag. There are a few things that I liked about this backpack... It has a lot of little pockets to keep tools organized, and it has a leak proof floor in it that would make it suitable for carrying a small amount of auto fluids. I didn't end up with enough room for the Dewalt power tools, so I just used an old Dewalt bag for those. Here is the backpack (I also got the smaller bags for sockets and things that you will see in the first photo):
.
And so far, I think this is my full loadout on the Jeep:
In order from left to right..... Portable Air Compressor - Recovery Straps - Air Compressor Supplies/Tire Repair Kit - Tools/Fluids - Power Tools
I'll add a personal size cooler as well.
I plan to keep this stuff behind the front seats and possibly on the rear seat.
Are you guys aware of a cargo net that would cover that area well?
