Recreating the vintage Toyota Tool Roll // Making a basic car tool kit

How to recreate a vintage style Landcruiser Toll Roll. Back in the 60's and 70's Toyota Landcruiser's came with a Factory Tool Roll that allowed you do so some minor repairs or maintenance. It's always a good idea to carry a car tool kit.

For the last few months, I’ve been thinking about going to tool rolls to eliminate the jingles when running forest roads. Thanks for the helpful vid!

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks for your comments. Glad it will inspire you, cheers.

If you get a ratcheting 14mm wrench you'll basically have a driver. A bead or stop on the nut will keep your wrench from sliding around. You can ditch the screw drivers and use a 4 or 6 in one screw driver. We call em "The orange handled screw driver" around my home. One of those bit drivers with umpteen bits in the handle are useful too! I keep one in my junk yard hunting kit. A relay or two and more hose clamps would be a valuable addition! When I change my headlights I keep the one that didn't burn out in my glove box.

Actually had the same tool roll now for three cars, mostly tools I inherited. Works like a charm! Can really recommend.

Great idea Mike

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks Jan. Make one for your new truck… you never know! Lol. I find that I typically help others than myself.

[@jntwyatt]

Good practical advice. 👍🏻😎 I like it

[@jusclaires]

Add a 14mm flex head ratcheting wrench if you have the space. Otherwise I think I’ve found the kit I’m replicating. Great video appreciate the pointers!

[@MikeFreda]

That’s a good idea. I did end up throwing in a used/low cost ratchet in this kit. Cheers.

[@DesertPunks]

If you want to save more money, get your box wrenches and other tools from the flea market. Saves money and you feel good giving tools a new life!

[@grizzlybob2247]

Suggestion....ratcheting wrenches in place of standard wrenches, at least on the 14mm

[@MikeFreda]

Yes, that would be a good addition. They do come up on special sale now and again. I tried to keep this kit cost as low as possible since it “could” get stolen and you typically won’t use it very much. Cheers.

I know this is an old video, but Japanese cars use JIS screws (dot on the head) not Philips. A Phillips will strip them.

[@heritagejonery3879]

You used scissors and side cutters to make the tool roll, I think I would put some of the in the kit too

[@planecrazyish]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍 very nice

[@MikeFreda]

Thank you! Cheers!

Not carrying a ratchet blows my mind

[@MikeFreda]

True. I did add sockets and a ratchet later on. The point of the video was to sort of mimic an old school Toyota tool roll, keep the costs down and not care too much of it got stolen. Going used or waiting for a Harbour Freight sale/coupon event would save money. Cheers.

Even replacing a starter is , what, four bolts and two or three nuts for wires..... A ratchet is good. But the one minute of twisting nuts and bolts vs a ratchet doesn't matter once every few years on a breakdown. Ratchets, they get dusty and rusty and need to be cleaned every few years whether you use it or not.
