I don't have a super off road adventure vehicle, but a standard GMC that I've added to. One of the things I considered is the ability to obtain spare parts or even tires/ wheels in a SHTF scenario, so I kept as much stock as possible. Some of the rock crawler wheels look great, but after you run through your spares, you're back to running regular wheels/ tires.

I ran the same format as the first reply, with my changes...

Recovery Equipment / tools:
- Hi lift jack
- tow strap and several sets of shackles
- vehicle plug-in air compressor for inflating tires / tire plug repair kits
- wrenches, sockets and a BFH
- spare fuses, duct tape, marine grade epoxies and JB Weld, some spare wiring, tubes, hoses, hose clamps, belts, oil, trans fluid, 550 cord, mechanix and heavy Army work gloves.
- boy axe, bow saw, D handle shovel, pick axe, kukri
- Two spare tires mounted (1 under, 1 over)

Signaling:
- hand crank portable radio
- road flares
- VS 17 panel
- rechargeable spot light
- several chemlites
- inverter for USB charging (used regularly for kids' electronics)
- portable solar recharging kit and rechargable AA batts

Food / water
- several MREs and Heater Meals
- several instant cup of soups and freeze dried fruits
- portable stove with gas
- 5 gallon water
- several 1 gallon water jugs
- several Camelback variations
- water purifier and window screen material and some old ladies panty hoses to filter out debries

AID:
- orange mini duffel with most first aid supplies
- a few smaller aid kits for the members of the family
- two vehicle fire extinguishers

Shelter:
- large tarp that is brown
- two sleeping bags plus Goretex bivy shelters
- several camping and airline blankets, poncho liner, plus two of the old Army OD wool blankets
- spare civilian wet weather gear
- spare set of pants / shirt / jackets / boots
- several spare socks and tshirts

- mulitband programmable ICON Radio
- Not so large Tuff boxes to store everything, so that they can be removed/ reloaded as needed
- couple of older day packs that contain some of the listed gear.

A lot of the stuff I picked up from work, as they were removing outdated or damaged equipment from vehicles. Plus, all that stuff we tend to collect when serving in the Army.
