Very cool... Would love 4 of them in my shop, not so sure about using it in the field.
What do I need for my first time off roading?

I need to be as organized as this. I probably have everything in that list in my storage areas in my Jeep but I certainly don't have a check list. I'm lucky I don't have to unload between trips, I just leave everything as is and if I used something, I replace it before putting the cover back over the Jeep.
What I didn't see in that list but I carry are spare tire stem valves and the stem insertion/removal tool, and spare rubber tire stems. You never know when something is going to tear a tire stem off. I also carry a 12" square of gasket material I can cut gaskets out of like for the thermostat housing. My thermostat stuck shut way up in the mountains so I had to remove it. The old gasket was shredded so I ended up cutting a new gasket out of a military MRE's cardboard box. Don't laugh, it was leak free for 6 weeks before I was able to get around to replacing it and the thermostat.

You might know about these, I have no experience with them. They look promising for a rapid replacement.

Those are fantastic jacks, and what I carry with me on the trails.
I have them in my trail kit, although I have not had the need to use them.
I picked up two of them a few weeks ago. I was pretty shocked at how compact they are. I was thinking that I’ll have to build some wooden supports to raise the base in order to lift my Jeep by the frame when it’s in the garage.
I've decided to buy one of those to carry but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
