Solid recover points...

Multiple snatch straps...

2 full-size spare tires...

Hi-Lift or regular 3-ton jack with flat wood pieces...

Spare drive shafts if you can...

Spare serpentine belt...

Enough oil and gear oil to change everything once...

JB Weld products...

Zip-ties galore....

Duct tape...

Tampons to plug holes...

Vaseline or equivalent to water proof...

Spare air filter or 2...

Coolant to replace it all in the radiator...

Spare coolant hoses to replace all of them including mounts...

Brake fluid, WD40 stuff, you know...

Any critical suspension parts you can carry...

Spare charged dry cell battery...

Lights and batteries galore...

Good maps...

Bridging ladders and other traction aiding devices...

Shovels, small and large....

Pick, ax or chain saw...

Plenty of tools...

Spare fuses for the whole fuse box...

Jumper cables, do not forget...

Air compressing system...

Ratchet straps galore, rope or other tie down devices...

Plenty of first aide stuff, water, food, water filtration, emergency blankets...

Knives galore, weapons also, all calibers from handguns to rifles up to 30-round capacity....

Bug out bags if you have to leave the truck behind...

Blankets, heavy clothing and such, it gets cold at night...

Spare fuel cans, enough to fill the tank once...

Where do I stop?

Did some off-road racing down in Baja back in the day and then built my BOTT SR5 to get out of dodge.

If your running the Paris-Dakkar. lol
That's an absolute overload for a guy who is starting out...however I won't argue the fact that you are prepared my friend.
There are some goodies here I forgot I use as well but when I'm doing some more serious stuff...gas..moving blankets...good to lay on in the mud to fix shit...water..snacks ,battery powered chainsaw.
Your gear will evolve over time and will be tailored to your specific needs and area.
My personal favorite tip...don't go alone. You can always pull some one out or get help if need be.
