What's in your trail repair kit?

Seems to be the way of things that parts/tools only get added to the kit after you or somebody with you has needed them. Every forum out there has several threads devoted to recovery gear, but what about repair gear? I thought we could all share what we carry, and how often we've needed it.

I drive a first gen IFS, more off-pavement than off-road. I carry metric sockets and box ends, a 54mm socket and driver, a couple AFS crescents, a leatherman, a ratcheting screwdriver and an altoid tin full of bits, a 2lb sledge, a tire repair kit, slime, JBWeld, and a combo jumpstarter/air compressor. For parts, I've got a complete set of belts, a spare front hub, fuses and stuff, a radiator cap, and various fluids including oil, coolant, StopLeak, and PB Blast.

I pretty much carry the same as you except for the 54mm socket (Holy cow). I don't really carry any new parts but I keep a lot of my old ones like the longest plug wire, my old belts, etc.. I also carry a box full of misc nuts, bolts, screws, electrical connectors, zip ties, a few hoses etc..

Ratcheting box wrenches are my favorite tools in the 4runner - I use them more than everything else combined I think.
 
I carry a 200 piece socket/ wrench set. a gator mouth bag full of pliers and screwdrivers. Misc hardware. at least one quart of each fluid except 1 gallon antifreeze. I still dont have spare belts or anything. but can make basic repairs.
