what to carry in Land Cruiser

lol great minds think alike. How are you storing/organizing the lures in the trunk?
Heh - no real organization right now... the storage on the battery side I'm keeping as my "sharps" cubby. I've got my filet knife and pliers there, some extra weights, and I just have a couple lures there. A 3oz spoon, 3oz top water and two 5in paddle tails with 3oz jig heads. I throw in a small towel there to keep it all from rattling/moving too much

This is where a 3D printer would come in handy to make some stacking divided lure trays for the otherwise useless cubbies.
 
I have a random set of tools and handy items that I keep in a roll up tool bag. I have a separate first aid kit so I try not to duplicate any of those items. Multimeter was $15 but works great and I don't worry about it. On the other hand, the Leatherman was kind of pricey and probably unnecessary since I always carry one in my pocket. I'm sure everyone's got a unique collection of their favorite tools.

I also always keep a large towel or two in the cargo area. I have some recovery gear in the long storage compartments. But for other items like a shovel or camping gear I only take when I know I'll need it.

I carry water in small bottles so they fit in the center console. The remainig bottle pack in the trunk, I have usually few litres (liters?) with me. Drinking water while waiting at traffic lights is a good way to get your daily intake.

I carry snow chains, because they are very effective in snow and in mud. I choose the tire size so that I can still fit snow chains. I know that chains are unpopular because you have to make a decision before you get stuck. Sometimes you have to put the chains on for just a few hundred meters. I have experience driving on forest roads in fall. Conditions can change due to heavy rain, and chains have proven their effectiveness on soft ground.
