I found this and thought it was useful.
his Spares List is only a guideline. You'll have to determine which items you need and/or have room to store. If traveling with other offroaders, the list can be divided between vehicles.
Hints: store liquids in a second, separate leak-proof container ; store tape & adhesives in there own zip-lock bags;
Brake Fluid
Engine Oil
Differential Lube
Power Steering Fluid
ATF or Manual gearbox lube
Duct Tape , store in a zip-lock bag
Roll of fencing or bailing wire
Roll of 'plumber's tape'
- metal strap with holes evenly spaced along its length
Roll of quality electrical tape
Tube of Silicon Sealant
Tube of Goop®
Super Glue
Flat Fix - truck size cans
Tire Repair Kit
- car & truck size plugs
- T-handle cleanout & plug insert tools
- rubber adhesive
- valve stem inserts
- valve stem tool,
- store in individual container, a quart ziplock bag works OK
Small Grease Gun, extra cartridge & a couple of extra grease zerks
- those small grease guns work good for quickie lubes after running in water, snow or mud - get the best quality of grease possible, store in a gallon ziplock bag
Spare Fan Belts (suggest: 'Goodyear Gatorback®')
Spare Radiator & Heater hoses and/or repair kits,
- spare heater hose can be used as a siphon hose for gas or water in an emergency
- selection of hose clamps including a couple of extra large hose clamps
cap & rotor and one long spark plug wire with connectors
spark plugs & O2 sensor
Roll of Electrical Wire - 20+ feet of 12 ga. good for almost any repair.
replacement fuses
replacement headlight & assorted lamps
Gas Tank Repair Kit - or an epoxy that can be used to repair more than gas tanks
Stop Leak for radiator
a selection of small fuel line size hoses 1/4, 5/16/ 3/8 - about 2' of each; along with a selection of hose clamps
leather work gloves
hand cleaner
(if you use a gauze-type air cleaner) small bottle (2 oz.) of air cleaner oil - in case you get the element wet
extra set of wheel studs & lug nuts
Spare Fuel filter
Spare Oil Filter
On extended trips or especially rough trails
U-joints & necessary tools to change
Tie rod ends
extra hubs, extra driveline, axleshafts
axle seals, if you loose an axle seal - gear oil on drum brake shoes, makes your rear brake on that side useless
