I have a tool satchel bag under the rear seat. All the basics-
Pliers, needle nose, dykes, channel locks, snap ring pliers
screwdrivers
wire stripper/crimpers
bag of fuses, short pieces of wire, random crimp connectors, electric tape
3/8" metric socket set
Combo wrenches
Torx sockets
flashlight
Allen keys
I'm sure there's more, but that's going off memory.

First aid kit, multiple lockjaw and vise grip pliers, jacking and chocking items wire and wire nuts, aerospace electrical tape (self adhering, amazing stuff), torx tools, hose clamps, screwdrivers. And yes, zip ties. I totally agree, they are unbelievably versatile. And great for driveshafts too.

This. I've read through these threads a few times. VEry helpful. And zip ties. I even grabbed some of the metal ones from harbor freight. Used them to secure my tie rod when the bolt fell off.

^ this.
We once used a couple HUGE zip ties after someone's upper control arm bolt fell out. It got him off the trail and to a nearby gas station to grab a new bolt.

For every day use right? Why would you carry so much? I keep a leatherman, a cheap screwdriver with different types of tips. An ARB tire repair and 3-1 battery, jump starter. And in my wallet a road-side assistant card. The last time I decided to have a sudden urge to go on a trail was never because I like to check everything before I even go anywhere far that is not my normal commute.
