Rippley, I'm out of the list loop but would start on pirate4x4. Several senior members there have pages with exceptional resources. Of course you'll find things all over the web once you start asking. Basics are:
Water & food - double what you expect, even for half-days.
Vehicle fitness (basic mech, f/r tow points, armor if appropriate)
Spares & tools (axles, joints, fluids, etc. as appropriate)
Clothing ("but it looked like a such a nice day")
First aid kit - tons of recipes here. Find a good one.
Insect repellent - Experience gave this one its own line.
Recovery gear (straps, shackles, come-along, rope, gloves)
Communications (notify someone back home, no solo trips, CB + FRS)
As for technique & safety there are numerous other lists. The Army guide has great rules of thumb and emergency ideas, with graphics that can only be described as "quaint".
