It doesn't hurt to have a small first aid kit as well.

 

Thats not excessive at all. But what you carry should reflect what kind of wheeling you do. If you are in the rocks a lot then youll need a boatload of tools and some spares. I dont care what you drive, if you wheel the piss out of it it WILL eventually break. heres what I carry, (list is for a toy but could be transfered to any brand really):

Full 3/8ths and 1/2 drive socket set (metric and some standard sizes)
24" 1/2 drive breaker bar
24" 250lb torque wrench
Large C clamp (old style)
4" bench vice fabbed to hook into hitch plug
BFH
screw driver and plyer set
impact wrench

some spares come and go depending on where and what I will be doing. I dont break very often at all really, but every time I or someone in my group has Ive been damn happy I have a good tool/spare set. Just my :2cents:

1. my ever so useful owners manual. (to set a signal fire)
2. a pack of matches from Outback.
3. 2 front slush mats. (make great snowshoes)
4. 2 rear Mopar carpeted mats. (Useful for keeping the skidmarks off of the seats in those off-camber situations)
5. 3 of those hair twisty-clip thingies from my daughter. (for thowing out the window to flatten the tires of the bad guys chasing me *insert Mission Impossible theme*)
6. 1/2 a bottle of flat Pepsi to loosen stuck bolts.
7. a large broken flat blade scrwedriver i use to open my shed door with in the winter time.
8. some road salt laden soggy McDonalds fries under the seats for survival food.
9. a flashlight with Everdeady batteries and a broken bulb (makes a great prop when your standing side of the road blubbering like an idiot after mashing your fingers in that assinine jack)
10. an empty can of fix-a-flat with finger blood from #9 on it.
11. a roll of duct tape (bandaids)
12. 7 hair "pretties" to make a torniquet out of.
13. 147 empty coffee containers from TimHo's & the corner market. (make lovely outhouses)
14. several lengths of bailing twine (no idea)
15. a 3lb Waxing hammer
16. and a leatherman i got for Christmas

 

I guess you always have to throw in one rediculous tool just for laughs! .....A leatherman....

 

but... it has a really cool genuine nylon pouch

 

I was on the trail and a guy had a pretty TJ shiny shiny shiny.. he had shears cuttin small limbs out of the way so he didnt get scatches on the trail and he had a bottle of windex.. every stop he washed the light dust of his windshield and fenders .. He did get stuck alot though.

So add.
1.plant pruners
2.Windex ( or equal glass cleaner )
3.Cleanex for first trail damage
4.Blindfold so wife does not see damage.

 

Next thing you know he'll get the wax out on the trail and start buffing it with his onboard air compressor! Yay air tools!

 

I have in my tool bag:

KA-BAR
Cargo straps
leather gloves
torx set with ratchet and extension
crescent wrench
flat and phillips head screwdriver
duct-tape
bungees
combo duck-bill / needle-nose pliers

That is stored under the middle back seat.

In the hidden compartment I have:

Leatherman
Flashlight
first-aid kit
pressure guage
jumper cables
