* Set of tools
* Jackstand
* Floorjack
* (1) set fanbelts
* Oil filter
* (1) set of fuel filters
* DC air-pump to air-up a slow leak tire
* Assorted exterior vehicle light bulbs
* Work gloves and safety glasses
* Section of cardboard to lie on under car
* Rags/shop towels
* Fast Orange hand cleaner-degreaser

I would add to this ;
*a set of fan belts
*Coveralls
*water/coolant
*small container of diesel
*Roll of 100mph tape ( strong duct tape)
The amended list is about what I have. There is the usual junk in the car as well. Often I travel miles from the nearest town/house so its necessary to be independent.
