Socket wrench, 'universal' screwdriver and set of ends, needle-nose pliers of various sizes, a good hammer, and a selection of regular screwdrivers.
And a jack that will take the weight of your vehicle without issue.

br/o/s before hoes.

Propane torch. $15 at home depot, I use mine to free up stuck bolts. Even the most rust-welded nut will break free when you get it cherry red and bang on it a bit

A few planks of wood for if you have to jack up the engine or trans.
An assortment of socket extensions.
