Tools what do you use?

Uh... or buy the exact same thing with a case online for sometimes less than half the Autozone/etc. price. An engine mount for my daily is $48 at Autozone. Rock auto, with shipping... $17. The exact same part number. Those stores can screw themselves... haha.

Yup. I recently borrowed a strut coil compressor from Autozone. If I decided to keep it, that would be $50. I can buy the same style compressor on Amazon for around 25. I have no idea if the Amazon one includes a case or not, but for half the price I wouldn't really care. Or, for the same price ($50) I could get the nicer style spring compressor like they use in the CJ Pony Parts install videos.

Mostly snap-on, mac, sunnex, and some craftsman

Thanks for all the responses guys!

So far I got the Tekton torque wrench (250 ft/lbs)

HF 3 ton jack stands

Pair of wheel chocks

ARES impact adapter set

21mm strut socket

HF torque wrench

To be purchased

Floor jack (HF had the 3 ton on sale for $77 but next month will be $67, I can wait)

Wrenchs not sure if a set will have everyone I need

Sockets same. I have a basic set but don't have deep sockets or impact

Trying to determine if a mechanic set is the way to go or separate sets

Oh also picked up a HF breaker bar
