man, where are all of you when I am wheeling? 
I carry a ton of stuff, and when someone in my group needs something, it seems I am the only one carrying a good selection of fix-me's.
How can guys go out on the trail with just wishes and hopes that someone else with them will have what they need when they get in trouble, and will let them use/have it? It boggles the mind
On a ROUGH trail...
Spare axles for all corners
Spare U-joints
Spare rear driveshaft
Radiator upper and lower hoses
Antifreeze, PS fluid, brake fluid, ATF, gear oil, oil/liquid PUMP
Bottle jack (haven't talked myself into a hi-lift yet)
Tools out the ying yang in a box. I try to narrow it down, but can never justify leaving something behind.
Jumper cables
Tire plugs
Air hose that will hook to an underhood pump
Full size spare
Tire iron
U-joint tiger tool
CB
Fire extinguisher
Cooler with food and drink in it
Mac pad to save the knees and back while using this stuff
Ratchet straps and bungees
Grease gun (glad I had it LOTS of times)
Shop towels
Fuses
Vehicle paperwork, of course
A smile
Maybe a few more things, but I am not in a position to take inventory at the moment.

Also I have Larry. Larry is a 3 ft prybar that I am frequently happy to be carrying.

What's in the back of your Jeep?
What strange or interesting things, tools or science projects do you have in the back seat, rolling around on the floor or in the cargo area that, for some reason, seem to travel around with you all the time? 
Right now, I have absolutely nothing other than a windshield shade on the floor of the backseat area. I like to keep it clean
