My wife is giving me 3 to 4 hundred dollars to buy tools, Just wondering what I should by??? Can I get a desent welder for 400 bucks????
 
what about jeep up grades???
 
ratcheting end wrenches
u joint press
portable air (power tank)
extra air tools for portable air
 
Kinda limted on tools, I have just the norm as far as sockets and wrenches I have a 6 inch c clamp and a set of vice grips that double as BFHers lol Was thinking about getting some sliders and some assorted tools.
 
how about this

How about a lincoln welder from home depot?
 
Id like to install a cage either exo or interior and maybe bumpers

That's a priceless tool!

I would say to wait for the welder and expand your tool collection. I would make sure you have the right tools to work on the Jeep. I have an OK selection of tools, but I am lacking many Jeep neccessities.

Here are a couple of my recommendations:

ratcheting wrenches
nice selection of hammers (at least 3, one of them being at least a 3lb sledge)
Selection of vice grips
Torx sockets for those few torx bolts on Jeeps
Nice torque wrench


If you wheel it, make sure you have a nice trail kit. Spares come in time, but having the tools to install a broken item is key.

There are lots of choice and opinions, and that $400 will not last long.

Good luck!
