Okay, this idea is shamelessly stolen from another SUV forum, but I thought it was a good idea, so I decided to start a thread here.

What is the oldest item in (or on) your 4Runner (not including the driver or passengers!) ???

For me, it is a 4-way lug wrench that I purchased in 1987 (the year of my first new vehicle) because I hate using the wimpy little OEM lug wrench supplied with the vehicle. I've had my 4-way lug wrench in every vehicle I've ever owned since I purchased it in 1987.

Old spring shades (for the windshield) from my previous vehicle. I think 1998 or so. The funny part is, I have newer ones in my POS car. Simply because the windshield is so much smaller than my POS car's windshield, so I got the bigger ones for that car and moved the regular sized ones to the 4Runner.
 
Hi Even Steven,

My Runner is new enough that I haven't put much in there yet, but I do have an old military tool bag that I keep a few odd tools in. I've had it since the early '90s and it's followed me into every car I've owned.

I do like a big 4-way lug wrench that you can really get some leverage with to break over those lug nuts. Where do you keep yours...just thrown in back? Or is there a better way to secure this?

Thanks,

John

I keep it under the rear seat cushion. It's the best place to store it.
 
Even Steven...

Are you the one with the FJ wheels on your Runner? I seem to recall photos and a thread about this.

How you liking these wheels? Any problems? They sure look good.

A 4 pack roll of unopened, still plastic wrapped, toilet paper. You never know - when you gotta go, you gotta go. Never leave the house without it. Seriously, I keep it in a duffel bag with an extra change of clothes just in case I get stuck somewhere. I know it's pretty old (and thank the maker I never had to use it) because I remember putting the same roll into my '91 Acura a while back. I guess I better change it out. May be dried out and like old historical parchment by now. Don't want it crumbling or disintegrating during mid-wipe. Sorry, I just go on needlessly sometimes.
 
I have some tools in the truck that are probably older than many of the members on this forum....easily 30 years old.

Woops, didn't read that part. The oldest item on my 4Runner is my hitch step. It has been recycled from my previous 4Runner which would have been over 3 years old.
