Default How much spare fluid should you carry?

I plan on carrying extra fluid for everything: motor, trans, t-case, diffs, brakes, radiator, and blinker. I was just wondering how much do most of you guys carry? Is it recommended to carry the capacity of all components or is just a portion sufficient? Hopefully I won't need to add any fluids on the trail because this means I'll have to fix a hole that its leaking from or had to take something apart...haha. All help is much appreciated.

I would double up on the blinker fluid. The others are not so critical. A extra set of muffler bearings is not a bad idea either.

That was my thought on the blinker fluid any recomendations with regards to the others? I was thinking brake fluid was probably the most critical considering brake lines can be damaged pretty easy then coolant. FYI I think Dave at northridge4x4 is still running a special on the heavy duty muffler bearings. Thats where I ordered mine from when I ordered my EVO skids last week...
