At some point, it might be easier to tow a back up vehicle or hire a camera crew if you need back up.

Don't forget the knife and fork for afterwards too.
Save packing all that extra food.
Just make sure he gets lots of milk and grain the trip out....

Sure, here you go. No chain saw, tire chains or extra diesel in this pic. No passengers either, but.. the passenger area is completely empty so you can imagine people sitting comfortably in there if you'd like.
Wow. Did you make that? It is gorgeous. Impressive
He's got a build page for it someplace...

Heh, I wish! No way I am that good. Mine would likely be made out of 2x4's and cardboard. It was made by a friend of mine, Mike. He's a retired cabinet maker and does these things for small business/hobby.

x2, I think you have it all. Very well thought out list. proof of being organized.
I only have 2 things I'd add. I usually carry some of that stuff in a catch container for oil/antifreeze etc. In the event of back country repairs, I had to pull an oil pan once and had a 3 gal bucket to catch the oil in so I could put it back.
Also, something that I've never seen on any list, but I always carry 6 of ( for one wheel assay ) is spare wheel studs & lug nuts. Lots of people carry nuts, but a lot of the time a stud or two has bee demolished along the way.
Speaking of trail essentials, has anyone seen or used one of these "Clamptite" tools? Seems like it could be handy on the trail for a few things!

I have a Pulaski. Great tool to have around.
I used to have one. Maybe some have a better handle design than mine did, really thin where it entered head . Broke on first use.
So it got the pipe hammered down and welded in treatment...good vibrations

Something extra to lock your truck up. Toyota locks arnt picky.
This is my favourite on the clutch peddle nice and simple.
Also I would like my yellow tops to stay under my hood in my 40. This hood lock look like a good idea.

Tire plugs. Used loads of these over the years.
I once patched a one inch slash in the tread of my work van after I jumped it over a deer carcass and the antler stabbed my tire.
The guy at the tire store said my van smelled bad.

Hah that’s why I put it in, love it! You could beat someone to death with the chain if need be.
