Common size tools for JK
#12
This is really showing my ignorance on the subject, but where would you use a 36mm on the axle assembly? On a related subject I was at this local salvage place at lunch today rummaging through the tools (picked up a couple of this list so I didn't have to raid my garage tools) and I saw a 36mm wrench. The thing is huge. It definitely won't fit in my wrench roll.

You want the socket and not a wrench. Its for that big nut in the center of your rotor. If you axle breaks this socket will allow you to pull it out and change it if you have a spare. If you don't, well pull it out anyway and sick a plastic covered rag down the axle tub to keep the gear oil in the pumpkin. This if for the front axle.

I personally carry a set of metric sockets all the way from 6 MM all the way up to 36MM (in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 wratchets), vice grips, and wratcheting wrenches. The cubbie comes in really handy...

In addition to the metric, I picked up a 1/4" drive and socket set at ACE that has hex and Torx sockets as well. The thing is light and it covers 99% of the little fasteners on a JK. I also carry a 3/8" Torx socket set for the other Torx heads.
