I am planning to off road for few days and wanted advice on any must basic tool kit to repair HJ60 landcruiser and what car part spares should i keep in handy.
i can think of radiator hose pipes, hose clamps, fan belts, driveshaft u-joints and cross, air filter, feul filter, engine oil,
puncture repair kit, metric wrenches, large pliers.
Also wanted to know if there are any tool boxes which has everything in it.

Include a spare bypass hose. The little connection between the water pump and the thermo housing. Hiding nicely away it gets forgotten. It can be replaced without dismantling too much though.

A small tarp might come in handy when you need to get under the car and to put your nuts and bolts on. A can of stop leak, cable ties and spare fuses. But that's a lot for only 2 days off-road.

About 4 meters of fencing wire, great for holding up an exhaust, has many uses, a tub of grease, WD40, baby wipers(great for cleaning), Air compressor(12V), Tyre gauge, Gloves, shovel, Axe. LED Lights, Lighter, Plenty of water.
I have most of these things in a tub ready to throw in the back for when a day trip through the scrub is on the cards. Plus all the gear you've mentioned already.
have a great time.

A satellite phone so you can ring your mechanic for help when the one thing you didn't bring is the one thing you need!
