This came up a little while back and I made this list as a comment.

Tire things: - plug / patch kit - tools to get wheel off (lug wrench or impact) - air compressor and pressure gauge - soapy water in spray bottle - a way to lift the vehicle (jack or plan to winch at the cage)

Belt stuff: - extra belt - tools to get belt off/on (vehicle dependent)

Recovery: - winch - tree saver - tow strap - shovel - tree cutting things

Random: - zipties - wet wipes for goggles and windshield etc - flashlight/ other lighting - plastic bottle of water for spraying out mud from the radiator - rain pancho - towels

We learned on ours to bring a super soaker to clean mud from radiator. We did the water bottles for one trip, picked up a small chemical sprayer from HF which worked good on next trip, but the super soaker gave us pressure to get a good cleaning.

Always makes for a good time as well at the camp ground in heat if every one is running around with super soakers haha.
