5) what about a portable warn winch set?
6) any need for a portable compressor for light driving?
Anything else in your basic noob locker? I'm in an unmodified 16 LE so I don't expect to use this stuff, but who does at first?

I'm a strong believer that a hi-lift jack is unnecessary for 99% of the off-roading population. I have several friends with rock crawlers that have never used theirs. A tow strap and/or traction mats are more than enough for most situations. But I could see how they'd be necessary for changing a flat on the trail, I guess...
I would add a collapsible shovel to your list. Get one with a serrated edge. You can cut tree limbs and make your own traction mats with branches (for mud or snow)
