im the sorta guy who doesnt leave home without enough tools to get me back should thr vehicle catastrophically fail...

so...

basically the minimal amount of tools to change brakes, axles, or a head gasket in a hotel parkinglot, at all times lol...

i came from driving fords... riced out fwe fords at that so just... transmission and axles like oil changes

i cant wait to get an nv45 and SS tcase under mine so I can never ever worry about drivetrain issues ever again lol

Since my Tahoe is a 2001 and 23 years old I carry quite a few items to use in case I have a problem and to keep my Tahoe clean.
Fire extinguisher
Battery jumper box
Extra belts
Extra radiator hoses stored underneath the car inside the spare tire wheel
Flashlights
Prestone antifreeze
Extra quart of oil
Tool box, metric ratchet set and small standard ratchet set
Mequiar’s Spray Wash for dirty car days, carpet cleaner for spills
Windex and Rainx window cleaner and towels
Paper towels
Phone charger cables
Duct Tape
Work gloves
Emergency Flares
Air Pump
Small Case of water
Funnels
Large and small umbrellas
Pad to kneel on/large towel to put on the ground
2 Extra heater hose Ts just in case an issue comes up
First aid kit

All of these items are for our long drives to Upstate New York which we just returned from on this past Monday.
Happy to say the only item I used was the Windex and some paper towels to clean the windows and the grill.
