Would add JB weld the putty type to the list. Has been a Godsend on more than one occasion.

SteelStik | Steel Reinforced Epoxy Putty
Right from the jb weld web page. JB weld is really good stuff. "Fixed" a few things with this while I was in the military.

WD-40, you can never have too much spray lube handy. If you have some money to spend on mods, a nice portable air compressor, you can use it for airing up tires, air tools, ect ect ect, can be 12v, battery clamp on, or even wall socket since the jk has a plug in the rear for that (at least the newer ones do).

WD-40 is an old friend... I like to carry some 5 minute epoxy(Plastic weld), Permatex Right stuff(60sec gasket maker) for those of you who use RTV. I like Form-A-gasket personally. Bailing wire, various self tappers, Starting fluid, (you can use to set a bead with also). Don't forget the ball joint press if you running 35s and play hard. I'm on the fence about carrying a Hi-lift. My buddy carries a low profile floor jack and a few 4x4 wood blocks, it gets more use then my Hi lift.
