Holy cow, that's a lot of stuff. Then I got to looking at my stash and I'm not too far behind I guess. I try to have multiple use tools to save on weight.

- a 2.5 lb hammer with a 10" handle as my only hammer
-a tool set in a low profile molded case that fits in the rear drawer. It has lots of deep and shallow sockets/wrenches/extensions/allen wrenches/1/2",3/8",1/4" drives. This kit is augmented with one 90 deg offset box end wrench 14mm-15mm (perfect for driveshaft removals)
-a set of metriwrench impact sockets from Harbor Freight (good for metric and standard)
-metric ratcheting gear wrench set (box end at both ends).
-one large adj wrench
-2' breaker bar, 1/2" drive
-1.5' pry bar
-one DVM, one IR temp gun
-JB weld, five sticks of 3/32" welding rods (used with modified jumper cables)
-duct tape, gasket maker, bailing wire
-safety devices tire seal kit, tire inflator goo in a can
-one 10' long, 14 gauge wire coiled up with alligator clips at each end, wire stripper, small assortment of butt splicers, spade connectors.
-flashlight - Streamlight rechargeable type, small and bright, mounted inside the glove box permanently
-1/2" impact gun, 3/8" butterfly impact, tool oil in a dropper thing, coiled up air hose, tire deflators, tire press gauge, blow off gun, tire inflation chuck. The 3/8" butterfly doubles as the Margarita blender motor.
- 12vdc powered fluor work lamp (similar to the ones for garage)
-simple green wet towels in a dispenser
-small can of wd40 (for starting fluid, cutting fluid, waterproofing, lubricating, etc)
-small container of brake fluid, one ATF quart, two motor oil quarts, one gal of radiator coolant premixed with distilled h20, one small funnel with a long neck
-one MRE, first aid kit, fire extinguisher
-small butane powered torch with a solder tip. Usually used for starting camp fires more than soldering!
-usual recovery gear (shackles, straps, etc)
-one small plastic box with multiple compartments filled with various metric M8, M10, M8.8 nuts/bolts with 1.25 and 1.00 thread pitch, one lug nut
-last but not least ....one 9MM GLOCK with one clip of hollow points, one clip of FMJs (17 round clips)
