I got a complete set at Sears that included the T-55 bit. I don't see why AutoZone wouldn't carry it.. Sears will definitely have it though.

Autozone is where I got mine a week ago for $5.99 (cheapy) no warranty on it and it was for a 3/8 ratchet but I needed one and Sears was a further drive.

My Autozone must just suck....they're usually out of everything I need. First I confused the guy by asking for a Torx..he asked if I mean "star?" and I said No, it's Torx. T- O - R - X. "Hmmmm.....let me look." Said all they had was on the shelf, and I already found the sets he took me back to (quicker than he did). Guess I'll check SEARS..thanks for the tips!

Just so you know, torx bits/bolt heads are sometimes referred to as star too.

i found a nice little set at napa when I was looking for them, little expensive but none of them have broke yet and it covers everything up to T60 1/2" ratchet on all of them too, even the tiny Torx bits

Sears - they sell them seperate - They should have the t55 alone.

I got a set from Sears,it was a good decision,I've learned over the past year that TJ's have alot of Torx head screws.

Looking for a set myself.
Found these tonight at Wal-mart of all places. Showing this link since i can't find on their sight. Wally-world had them for 19.99.
http://www.beachaudio.com/Stanley/89-420-p-39190.html?utm_campaign=froogle&utm_content=reg&ut m_term=89-420&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=froogle&GTKW=89-420&GCID=C12585x003

Description from site
Torx set has durable Black Oxide finish for long-life and continued reliability
1/4 " drive 6 pcs T8, T10, T15, T20, T25, T27
3/8" drive 5 pcs T30, T40, T45, T50, T55

Haven't had a chance to price Sears yet so don't know how that compares.
Also, some people will only buy Craftsman, Snap-On and so on, so don't know how Stanley compares in quality.

Also, haven't had a chance to wrench on the Jeep yet, but what are the different sizes of Torx that are needed?
Will this set cover all my needs, or should i look elsewhere with more variety in kit or even buy individual if needed?
