Seatbelt cutter attached to my seatbelt….
In my cargo box one side holds, 2 first aid kits, emergency blanket, extra clothes, shoes and jacket for each member of the family. Maps, flashlights, TP, paper towels, trash bag/shopping bag, blanket, lighter, bag of snacks. Thats one side.
The other side holds jumper cables, oil, windex, water, socket set, wrench set, tent stakes, lots of rope/different kinds, 2 D-rings, D-rings hitch receiver, fire extinguisher, 1 ton jack stand, folding shovel, gloves, zip ties. I'm sure there's more its just too early to think about everything thats in there.
The hi lift is bolted to the top of the cargo box and an air compressor on the side.

There is a great thread on the 120 forum regarding this. Good thread topic regardless.

My off roading is mostly in northern Nevada. This is the stuff that is always in the truck (if going more than 250 miles the list gets a bit more extensive):
2 GPS Receivers (the simple kind with lat., long., elev.)
Paper USGS Topo Maps of the areas I will be traveling
Camera
spare AA and AAA batteries
Axe
Shovel
Hand winch
2 tow straps
4 D-rings
A couple flash lites
5 gallons of water
12V air compressor
First Aid kit
1/2" rope
1 gallon coolant, oil, windshield washer
OBD2 Scanner and code list
Toolbox with assortment of wrenches, screwdrivers, wire, hose clamps, tape (teflon, duct, electrical), hoses (from 1/4 to 1 inch), various fasteners, wire, etc.
2 pairs work gloves
extra jacket
extra hat
extra spectacles
paper towels
toilet tissue
Truck owners manual
A second truck
No I don't carry a cell phone or have a CB radio - neither work once more than a few miles away from a town or interstate highway around here. Northern Nevada is very unpopulated once anywhere north or east of Reno.
On trips of more than 250 miles I will add a couple of five gallon Gerry Cans of fuel; more fluids for the truck; more clothing; more food; and whatever else the terrain might warrent.
262 Treks in this:
4 Treks in this (so far):

Perfect vehicle as it stands for northern Nevada terrain. Keep it stock - it'll go most anywhere as is.
