AAA will also give you a jump. That way you can avoid flagging down a potential murderer.

You could also bring an extra battery.

Extra light bulbs and fuses.

Hoses and belts.

Extra U-joints.

Honestly these trucks are pretty strong and rather reliable. Basic items and a way to get into contact with a tow truck that'll take you to a nearby parts store and you'll be perfectly fine.

I didnt think of fuses or bulbs. The only reson I said jumper
cables is I had a comaro that would drain the batery over
night if I didnt disconect it haha

I dont know if any one has said a good jack/jack stands and somthing to
lay on just incase you have to crawl under it.
