Always water, a flashlight, a booster pack/ air compressor, A Fluke meter, shovel, various tools for repair, tire plug kit, and a tow strap if I am going out in bad conditions or remote locations
I also have a garmin quest gps with voice navigation. The reason I picked it at the time was because it was one of the few you can also remove from your vehicle and run off batteries if you go hiking, exploring or anything else. It has helped me tons from the back dirt road high up in the mountains to big new cities such as miami was at one point.
I remember one time we had a snowstorm hit us at 7600ft at a friends house way up in the mountain on a 43 acre lot. It was dropping 6 inches every 30 minutes for several hours. Driving off the property was akward because the dropoff from th dirt road dissapears and the land that is usually identifieable is covered by the same level as the snow on the road making it impossible to see untill you go off, feel the vehicle drop down hoping there isn't a hidden rock, and put it into reverse to back up onto the road.
After driving the road earlier my gps had drawn a line I had traveled and was a great referance to keep me on the road.

These are just great for reaching out and touching someone ....:yesyes:
While I am no gun expert... a good friend of mine who is also a mechanic.... gunsmiths as a hobby. He had a 12x 16 room with gun safes around every wall and some in the middle with every type of gun you could ever need. Needless to say If I ever want to borrow some to shoot he trusts me enough to have given me a key to access them.
His other specialty is explosives..... so that may have rubbed off on me a little...

All you 'mericans with your guns, you're making me laugh. I wish you could do the same in my country, but honestly, I never have worried about crime THAT much. I'm not knocking you, I know that crime can be a problem down there. I hear the stories. But three clips??? WTF?? Hit the range if you're that bad!!
The only gun I carry is my 12 or 20 gauge 870 during the huntin' seasons. I guess if I hang that out the window when I'm being tailgated, there'll be no problem!
I carry around a first aid kit, flashlight, heavy blanket, tow strap. You know, the usuals...
Many of you have given some good ideas, one's that I'm considering right now, like the camera idea or receiver shackles.
Thanks!

Alot of junk, that's what!
Here's a list off the top of my head of what I know is in it right now. I'll take a picture and post it sometime. It's a mess back there. You gotta be prepared when you drive an older 4 runner especially when you get winters like ours.
1 million candle power Qbeam flashlight
One of those no-battery shake and go LED flashlights
Two tool boxes complete with:
Complete set of wrenches metric and imperial
12v tire/air compressor
Tire slime (sealant)
Robo grips
Vice grips
24" pipe wrench
Screw drivers
Duct Tape
Electrical Tape
Teflon tape
Contact Cement
Screws bolts etc in bottom of tool box
Extra Jack (Also factory jack under back seat)
Nylon cord
1 small wooden box with two gear pullers in it (belongs in garage)
1 duffle bag which contains:
Work gloves
Leather insulated gloves
Flanel bed sheet
One old towel
Rags
Rain Jacket
also...
Umbrella
Oil Funnel
2 litres of oil
windshield washer fluid
1 small bottle of rain-x windsheild treatment
1 small bottle of Deep Woods off
1 aerosol can of regular off
Snatch Tow Strap (tow strap)
jumper cables
traction aids
extra peices of carpet
First Aid kit
Pens, pencils and Paper
Tylenol Ultra
Haynes manual
Some miscellaneous fishing gear (sinkers, hooks etc.)
I'm sure that I've missed a few things. I'm also thinking that I should clean it out a bit. Although I'm picking up another spare tire to put behind the seat.
I feel like I've just been to confession.

First of all, I live in a high crime, violent third world country. I'm military / law enforcement.
Tactical:
-Glock 19 w/original 15-round mag
-2 Extra 9mm 15-rd magazines w/holster
-Collapsible Baton w/ holster
-Handcuffs w/ holster
-M3 Gun flashlight for the accessory rails w/ holster
-BulletProof vest
Emergency/Utility: (Tucked away in the rear compartments, out of sight)
-tow rope
-battery cables

-120V AC power inverter
-A machete w/holster
Also, my T4R has an alarm/security sistem with protection, monitoring and tracking controllable from my cellular phone. I can remotely turn off the engine and activate the panic feature if the vehicle is stolen.
I can remotely block it, so it won't even start with the key, and if the alarm is activated, it sends me a message to my cell phone, wherever I am worldwide.
