Just a quickie.
What is the largest size needed in a GU Patrol toolkit?

All depends on what the purpose of it is I guess.
Local treck on a weekend, or self-sufficient drive across central Australia?

I carry a ring/open spanner set (6-19mm), plus a 300mm shifter, a wheel brace & a decent sized hammer.
Yendor might be able to give a more accurate answer depending on what you want it for.

Sorry should have said. For the latter - 'self sufficient drive across central Australia' (or other remote parts).

I think I have used a 22mm and maybe a 24???

Thanks BA.
Roll up, Roll up, any advances on 24mm?
My socket set goes up to 32mm & ring spanners up to 27mm, but I'm in weight reduction mode & wanting to offload what I don't need. Would hate to need one a long way from anywhere & not have it though, expecially if I knew it was back home in the shed.
I have a vague memory of reading a mention of a 27mm being required for some part of the suspension sometime back???

Guaranteed the one you leave at home is the only one you will need!

The largest would be on the radius arm or panhar rod?

Yep a 22mm is needed for the Tie Rod ends and a second 22mm or 7/8 would be handy. A big Shifter and a pair of big multi grips will take car of the rest i think. A Hub nut socket is handy too. the GU runs a 2 pin type and handy to have the right tool.
