"MUST-HAVE" Tools?

Well if you want to get technical all anyone needs is a phillips and flathead screwdriver and an adjustable wrench (cringe). It looks like a medium sized set from any local store is what you need.

Yep. I think for what you're looking for you really don't need anything more than some screwdrivers and a metric socket wrench set. A power drill and a Dremmel would be nice additions but are not "must have". Only if you have the $$ to cover it. I just borrow my uncle's Dremmel and power tools
 
A can of WD-40. :D

I use it for everything.
Works great for removing bugs off the bumper and grill. I also use it on my roof rack and the vinyl strip on my back bumper, makes them look like new.

and a GOOD floor jack, you don't want to be under a 2 ton truck when your jack fails.

If your that concerned about it, you might want to back it up with jackstands.
 
one set of tools that EVERYONE needs... a set of racheting wrenches... i can not tell you the frustration and time and bloody knuckles saved by getting a set of those!

oh, and if you cant get those right off the bat, get a set of mechanics gloves, you will thank me later

oh, and nitrile gloves for greasy work... makes clean up a breeze.

and a BIG bag of cat litter... to clean up those random liters of oil that jumped off the table and to their death in your drive way

and a bottle opener, welded to your frame rail... because sometimes its hard to get out from under your truck...

and word to the wise... dont use wd-40 to lubricate ANYTHING on your truck... only use it for what it was designed for, and that is not a long time lube.

best of luck!

Come to the "Dark Side" Runnerup...I know you want too. :p

The vinyl strip on my rear bumper was faded so I hit it with some WD-40...Before and after photo below.
I also brush my teeth with the stuff. :biggrin2:
