What tools/spares/recovery items do you keep in your car?

I'm the one guy that carries the HF 1/2" breaker bar.

In addition to most of the items listed above I have a long, fine tooth recip saw blade.  It's been very handy. 

Also a kitchen trash bag for greasy parts.

You carry all this in your sand rail????  Holy crap!!!!!!

 
Yep, tool bag strapped down right here in front of the footrest for the passenger.

Go-Treads on the "Hump" with a velcro Strap, the rest in the trunk with the food/water.  I liked being prepared & we used just about all of it.  in fact, I would add something else just about every trip (because we needed it for someone & didnt have it.  That ensured that we would never need it again.  LOL)

Pretty much everything you listed plus a kinetic rope, 12V air compressor, plug kit, and jump box w/phone charger cable.

I have a 4 seater and that all gets strapped into one of the rear seats. Makes it a 3 seater I suppose.

Night time when taking the highway to the hill, I'll take that stuff out to make room for the dirtbike riders in the group to tag a long and go to the hill for a beverage

 
so i broke a Midboard bearing a couple of years ago and the rear wheel almost fell off,   I really cant afford to have a spare midboard,   My thought was to take a combo spindle with a plate or 2'' hollow with a plate that has the midboard bolt patter,   I was also going to do this with a pipe to offset it far enough away from the arm so you would not have to pull the axle 

What everyone thoughts on that 

 
Seems like a decent idea. Let's say they are G1 midboards,  then just about anyone with G1 stuff could use it.  My point is it's not just a tool for your car.  

I've always liked the sled idea but Making that universal would be a bit more challenging.  And storing it....  :( 

If you didnt remove it what would you do with the axle?
