Spare tire, jack, lug wrench, extra valve stem, plug kit, lug nuts.
Jumper cables(Unless you run 2 batterys on an isolator like meupergrin
Winch, or comealong, tree saver strap, yank strap, chain. Good tow hooks and gloves. That chain will help change a tire with a long travel suspension.
Fluids, this is what I carry: 5gal water, 1gal atf, 1gal 50w oil, brake fluid.
Keep in mind you need to carry what fluid your rig would need.
Fire extuiguser X 2. I keep 2, this is one that is just too simple to not have.
First aid kit, this is one that you cant ever have enough of.
Tools, you need to have enough tools to try and repair your truck on the trail. Know your truck, most eb's are standered, but over time you may have ended up with a metric head. I personaly carry enough tools to disasemble my entire truck. A hub socket is a must, to get too that U joint.
Belts, hoses, hose clamps, fueses, relays.
Some extras I carry, axe, shovle,map book, rope,scisor/bottle jack, flashlight, duct, electrical tape, MRE's,toilet paper, water purification tablets(not all 5 gal was for the truck), nut and bolt assortment, zipties,WD-40.
I'm sure there is more I keep and just havent mentioned it. The best advise I can give is be mentaly and physicly prepaired. Not only in how to fix your own ride, but in safe extrication, first aid, wilderness survival.
