For recovery bag, I have this in my amazon list.

Do you have a recommendation on what needs to go in and not go in one of those?
can the hilift really be used as a winch/come-along ? Will it produce enough power to pull a 4runner out of mud ?

update....guess it can after looking at you tube..

of course first aid, tool box, glock

aside from that, recovery things that I have now...no particular order

tree saver
20 foot strap
15 foot strap...so 35 feet total
shackles ( 1 pair)
rear hitch with shackle mount
recovery boards
hilift jack and the big foot print thing for a hilift
come a long....thats gonna disappear from truck when winch gets here and installed

ordering b4 the weekend is over.....
winch...the biggest issue is places that say free shipping....does not include alaska...so finding a dealer that will ship and not charge 140....buying local....well that adds about the same...so will suck it up and order from either local or on line.
those blanket things you throw over the winch cable ( brain fart cant think of name)
snatch block
small compressor for air up tires ( burned out my cheap costco jumpstart compressor thingy
2 more shackles
better recovery bag
and most likely a land anchor....there are times where there is nothing around me but mud or small tree/bushes in higher elevations

answering myself...on list of things I said a land anchor....well...
last weekend I was with a friend, in his rig and we hit a pocket and sunk big time...all around us felt solid...he had a home made anchor blades as big if not bigger than what you could buy...it just pulled through the dirt like nothing was there.... we dug...retried several times..it was so soupy..we could dig under the truck and it would just fill back in on its own. recovery boards were worthless... but those are good things and have helped me in the past.
finally...we dug a hole big enough for his spare and had that burried...me standing on it...we got out (with winch)
2 lessons....one...bring a better shovel than those little camp shovels...two... bring more beer for when you get out
