Grenadier-specific tool bag assembly ideas

[robbradley509]

Hey! Just picked up a modular tool bag roll to stick under the driver’s seat. I’m starting to think through kind of the bare minimums to load out the bag. My initial concept is kinda like the OEM tool roll but fleshed out a bit. So, gloves, flashlight, essential tools for field repairs.

Just got my gren, so learning as I go here. Really appreciate any recommendations.

Suggestions:
- Substitute headlamp for flashlight.
- Gluetread tire repair kit

Ooh, that Gluetread is good stuff! Love the headlamp idea.

I was also thinking zip ties, electrical tape, torx 15 for the internal stuff. What other sizes are commonly used throughout the vehicle? Any other gren-specific items, or general items anyone might recommend? Thanks!

• Electrical
  • Replacement fuses for anything I've added to the vehicle or touched
    • ATC, Mini ATC, MIDI, ZCase, MEGA, MRBF

  • Multimeter

The one tool set I have used repeatedly on the INEOS is the Wera WER05056490001 Tool-Check PLUS Bit Ratchet, 39 Pieces.

Also look at these threads here and here.

Common torques settings here.

Bolt/screw types and sizes here.

Full torx set + hex, multimeter, incomplete 3/8 drive set, headlamp in the drivers side door, sometimes a torque wrench, electrical tape. Hammer. Bungee cords.

Fixed a broken alternator mount with a bungee cord once. (Not my rig… but it worked) it had just enough tension to keep the belt working…
@anand and @TheDocAUS thank you.

I have to admit, I'm going down this rabbit hole and loving it. Have some fun new toys that are going to be showing up over the next few days to round out the kit!

All of this fits under my drivers seat.

MXT115 - I recently upgraded to a MXT275 in the grenadier, but they are about the same size.

I have a minimal tool kit inside a Grenadier Guy underseat bag, but I am about to move to a dedicated tool roll in the same location.
