Thank you dropzone!
Instead of carrying that extra weight of the big spike, just use the "shaft" of your hi lift jack. Bury it sideways and its wide for more support! Bury a piece of wood horizontally with it too and you can pull out a tank!
My list...oh heck...where to start.
Glove box/center:
compass
flint and steel
4inch fixed blade knife
key socket for lug nuts
quality head lamp (flashlights are useful, but not nearly as handy)
matches, lighters
tire pressure gauge
whistle
odds and ends
jb weld
electrical tape
fuses
safety glasses
22. ammo
behind seat:
First aid kit
fire extinguisher
every spare electrical component needed to make it run.
Haynes manual for both pickup and supra
Spare fuel pump
subwoofer
Leather gloves (who knows how many)
winch control toggle switch handle thingy
Lunch box (full)
Water
axe (NEVER leaves my truck unless being used)
Little bits of this and that
Lock box in bed:
booster cables
20'x20' tarp
Tiedown straps
spare engine belts
rope, multiple sizes and legnths
rubber bungees
coveralls
set of clothes
more leather gloves
toques
cross wrench
2 small tools boxes with everything I should need
2 bottle jacks
peices of 2x4 (jacking, blocking tires ect)
peices of plywood
2' metal pipe for snipe, beating stick
24" breaker bar and 21mm socket for lug nuts
tow chains
tow strap
enough oil for complete change and filter (never know when you'll poke a hole in your filter with a stick)
gear oil, coolant, washer fluid
Peices of sheet metal
hatchet
glow sticks
another pipe/snipe
Folding shovel
spare tire in box
Other stuff I've forgotton
Thats everyday, carry everywhere stuff.
If I'm going OUT:
chainsaw
22.
hi lift
6' 2"x10" (for standing on when stuck and not wanting to be up to my hips in goo while digging out the winch line and locking the hubs)
spare winch line (for breakage or for that tree that is just too far)
spare ARB line and fittings
rear drive shaft
axles (with birfields) both length fronts and 1 rear
a plan
10L spare fuel
spare battery
Theres bound to be more stuff too. This doesn't include the usual, cell phone, wallet, camera ect.

Where do you keep the kitchen sink? Lol! Naw, I'm just messing with you and I bet everyone who wheels with you into the deep badlands is greatful to have you along being so well prepared! I was raised to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst and in doing so, there has been many times I was greatful for the extra load!
Is the .22 rifle there to whip up some squirrel kabobs for when you get stuck out in the thick by yourself? I hear when trying to survive, a good attitude is worth its weight in gold. Maybe add a bottle of whiskey to the list for attitude adjustment.
I haven't heard anyone mention bringing along their bugout bag which should really come in handy if the sxxt hits the fan concerning truck breakage, but I haven't read all the other thread lists yet, so this may already be covered.

wow...I carry lots of stuff...and still get 25mpg!!!!!
Extra fuel is probably the most important simple thing. Its impossible to predict how much you will use. An 8 mile trail could use 8 gallons depending on terrain and how much hard you play. I always have 5 gallons extra and have used it a couple times, but never needed more.
