What tools do you routinely carry when out and about?

Just curious as to what others keep in their Discoverys just in case of a roadside repair. I only have one storage box in the back as I removed the left side and installed a sub woofer for my stereo so I had to be creative. I found some gortex zipper tool bags and I separate tools into different bags to make it easier to fine what I want like screwdrivers or wrench sets. Also keeps from having a big mess in the bottom of the bin.
So here is my rear bin tool kit:
1.One complete socket set, a nice Husky kit I found half price at HDeopt with both 1/4 and 3/8 drive in metric and imperial and long and short sockets.
2. Bag of assorted size screwdrivers, both Phillips and slotted, Allen and Torx.
3. Bag of assorted pliers, needle nose, channel locks and my favorite... the vice grips.
4. Bag of assorted size open/box end metric wrenches
5. Electrical tape and duct tape, latex and leather gloves, assorted size cable ties, small can of WD-40, roll of Teflon plumbers tape. some hose clamps and some crimp style wiring connectors.
6. Jumper cables, some bungee cords, yakima hold down starps and the remote for my winch.
7. A small ball peen hammer.
I have a separate bag of items specifically for 4 wheel recovery and only throw it in the back when doing that activity.
What do others carry?

I have a full socket/wrench set, as well as this tool roll filled to the edge with tools. It weighs around 30lbs.

Really, most of my tools are in my 'go bag', so some stuff isn't necessary
Full set of metric and standard wrenches (they're all in a roll similar to the one above), both fixed and ratcheting, and three different sized adjustable wrenches from 6" to 12"
full metric socket set with flex and shorty ratchets, and 3", 6", and 18" extensions (popular mechanics brand, but I've beat the **** out of them for 15 years without a single issue)
various pliers, vice grips, dykes, screwdrivers, and picks (to include a set of 12" needle nose which are my "land rover pliers")
1/2" drive breaker bar with a few large sockets and a 6" extension
adapters to use any size socket with any size ratchet
multimeter
metric and standard allen wrenches
set of torx bits
jumper cables
extra drive belt
jug for water
I'm definitely forgetting some stuff.
I don't carry a hammer. I probly should buy a ball peen to throw in the bag.

I carry the same as mentioned above, except one thing I did the other day was went to a photo copy shop and had the RAVE manual printed out and put in a three ring binder. one thing I would like is a sat-link to this forum with a dash mount screen, since it seem to be more helpful than the RAVE most times!
Oh and a jug of each required fluid and a jerry can of water! ( when on long road trips)
