This is a very open question, here are some known stuffs to carry:
a. Winch
b. High lift jack
c. Normal jack
d. all neccessary tools (Plier, sphere kit, hammer, alenkey drivers, screw drivers of both types etc.)
e. Radiator hose kit (top and bottom)
f. Cable kit (clutch, accelerator and break)
g. Any non-standard fitment on the jeep (altered part as they will not be available elsewhere)
h. Flash light, head strap light or working lamp
i. A plastic sheet spread incase required to work under body
j. Water & Fuel cans
k. Air filter element (if paper element is used, must have when water crossing is expected)
l. Break oil
m. M-Seal, Anabond and silicon gasket sealant paste (incase of any leak which needs to be addressed on temporary basis)
n. D-Shakle, Tow robe, Trunk protector, atleast one gunny bag (used as tracktion system or energy absorber) and head lamp bulbs
o. Good spare wheel (I have seen many times that few chaps turn to OTR without stepney or flatned sparewheel. Please avoid this)
p. Puncture kit (Tyre inflator, and other stuffs for repairing the puncture)
q. last but not least ---> carry a good knowledge about your jeep which will be the one going to save you from panicky situations.
