Don't have an M35 so I'm not sure here. Usual
stuff like a good set of sockets, combination
wrenches, etc. The AM Generals are all SAE right?
There's no funky Metric bits added are there?

Where to get a torque multiplier? Grainger has one for $400 (blink!).

Jacks are easy, I have a 20 ton bottle jack (one
of the last gifts from my mom before she passed
away) that rides around with the ferret that can
get transferred to the 5 ton. That jack's just
overkill for the ferret. A 6 ton bottle jack
would be more than sufficient for the 'little' 4
ton armored car.
