My toolbox is so crammed I don't think I can fit anything else. I have:
- spade shovel with a long handle
- 30' long 6" wide tow strap out of an Army wrecker
- 15' bungee tow cable on the front bumper
- Hi-Lift jack
- lug wrench
- extra Rotella, anti-freeze/water, gear oil, grease, ATF, fuel, fuel filter, extra v-band clamps, extra wire, PLENTY of electrical tape and parachute cord
- 320-piece craftsman socket & wrench set that fits perfectly on one side of the box plus a toolbag full of screwdrivers, pliers, 2.5 lb sledge, vice-grips and some other essentials
- fuses, belt, bungee cords, bailing twine and ratchet straps
- jumper cables
- Carhartt bibs
- Small power inverter
- d-cell Mag light and 2 Surefire LED flashlights
- Remote-control high-intensity Go-Light
- ice chest of Lone Star beer
- camping chair
- I have fishing rod holders built in to the back of my toolbox and a slide-in rod holder/ fishing stand with a fighting chair built in (my name is DieselSharker for a reason)
All of this is what I carry everywhere I go, except for the fishing platform, not just on long trips. I HATE being stranded anywhere. Eventually I will get an onboard air compressor as well.
When I am wheeling or on the beach for a weekend of shark & red fishing I'll have extra axle shafts, u-joints, bearings, fullsize spare, a mini torch, etc. If I'm fishing the back of my truck is full of rods, 3 ice chests, a bunch of milk crates with random fishing gear in them and a Kayak.

I forgot the most important things....my XM radio tuner and my Zune!.....OH, and my .40 Walther P99 and a Winchester .30-30

Probably 
. But I was in boy scouts for 10 years and in the Army for 6 years as a grunt so I know how to pack . My truck is basically my shop since most of the time I use my tools I'm working on the truck anyway. Check out my work bench when i rebuilt my pump:
