Having just purchased my 1990 3L petrol GQ patrol, I am wanting to set up a tool box for it, any help on what spanner sizers I will need would be a great help, as going over it and working it out myself (which I will be doing ) I may miss an important size, or if there is a extra long socket needed to get at something.
advise on this will be a big help as i dont want to be out somewhere and find I need a 16ml socket with 100ml reach
TIA
I've got two sets of ratchet ring ends (and open ends - one set solid, one set with flexible heads) going from 8mm - 34mm. Sockets in the same size and one set of long tube sockets in imperial. 3/8 ratchet and 1/2" ratchet drives with multiple length extensions from 4" to 24" with swivel head adapters to get into nooks and crannies.
Couple of various size chisel tip and Phillips heads screw drivers, shifters, and an assortment of side cutters, pliers (standard and pointy nose), multi-grips, and dog grips and your pretty much in your way to being able to twist and remove most things on the truck.

electrical gable ties, roll of tie-wire (pictured above), a quality set of allen-keys, as stated buy quality tools, they dont have to be Sidchrome but $20 fo a socket set wont get you far, assorted ring & open end spanners, you can by these in good sets, if you buy from Ebay research the product 100% then you cant be dissapointed, maybe look at supercrap (supercheap), I dont go there so have no idea on quality but havent heard to much to positive, remember cheap usually means nasty, remember you dont want to be in the bush & that 50c socket is your insurance to get home after a breakdown, I would be mighty scared
