I'm putting together a tool kit with sockets and wrenches. I don't have the budget or the room to carry a lot of extra's that I won't commonly need. I'm hoping to be able to put this kit together with the many odd's and ends I have lying around the garage. Anyone know what sizes are most commonly used on the JK? Are they standard or metric? I'd go outside and check for my self but it's 12 degrees and there's over a foot of snow on the ground! Any help?
Thanks,
Nathan

All of the installation write ups have tool lists, a good place to start.
