Default Common bolt head sizes

I'm just wondering what the most common bolt head sizes of my 1997 Cherokee Sport would be. I'm making a tool set specifically for my Jeep. Bolt head sizes for: body, frame, engine, etc.. Also what else would you suggest I keep in my Jeep for repairing stuff (on or off road) or emergencies. I have a first aid kit and stuff to keep warm and start fires, plus bear mace and a loud horn to scare predators. I live in Southeast B.C.

Keep a spare flex rad hose, belt and if possible a spare axles F/R Get a tupperware container that you can put together a survival kit that can be chucked into your rig at any time, Food spare clothes train flares axe shovel duct tape, zip ties and the list goes on and on

1 extra life saver is a nut cracker-you get a flat in the woods and cannot get the darn nuts off with the small cross wrench. Go to Princess Auto or other auto store and buy the long bar (3' long) with the end to put a half inch socket or the size nuts you have on your jeep wheels.Another helper is something to lie on when you end up in the mud and have to go underneath..an OLD plastic table cloth works well. As XJDude said the list goes on and on. Tow strap of 10000 lbs pull strenght

One more item a tire plug kit and extra plugs if you need to learn how to use it go to the local tire shop and most of the guys will give you a crash coarse on how to fix your tire I;ve used 12 plugs to get out of the bush so that is a must
