Here's a thread that should help you out with recovery essentials.

As far as tools go, I pretty much carry everything I would need to work on my Jeep as well as most JK's and that includes a welder. It's a TON of tools but, I have used them countless times. Granted, I not everyone needs to carry this much stuff and so long as you have basic tools and the 5 essentials (BFH, pry bar, zip ties, duct tape and a heavy duty ratchet strap), you should have enough to get you off the trail
Water and snacks just in case you're going to be out for a while is a good idea too as well as something warm. I literally could go on and on but this should be enough to get you going.

Couldn't agree more with the above list of materials. To add to that list would be a tow strap, shovel, and a case of water. Oh, don't forget the toilet paper unless you want to wipe your ass with a cactus.
Torque wrench
21mm wrench and socket
18mm wrench and sockets
35 and 36mm sockets
Those are the odd ball sizes I would get. Otherwise basic metric sockets and wrenches will be fine.
I would make sure you have two each of 13mm, 15mm and 18mm. Those are common sizes.
Since im newer to this, im gonna ask....what are the 35 & 36mm for?
Axle shafts and pinion nut.
