What is this part?

I had my skid plates off today and I found this sitting on my front skid plate. It's a little over 1" square and says "N018" at the bottom. Any ideas what it is?

I believe that's part of the system that fastens the lower valence of the front bumper to the upper metal portion. Look where the lower valance bolts on to the upper part and you should see that there are 5 or six screws going through into the metal portion. Those screws go through the part pictured.

edit: I was thinking of part 90179-06127, which this is not...

I did some googling and it looks like maybe it's a body shim?

Looks like the shim for the brake line on the spindle to me.

It's like 1/8" thick. I think the shims you're talking about are those thin sheet metal ones?

Yeah they’re thin and have a lip on one side.

It's not the brake line retainer clip. Similar shape but the retainer clips are thin and flexible. This is thick and rigid. Plus I just checked and both of my retainer clips are in place.

Well, those aren't used on a 4Runner... they are for old-school muscle cars and similar. So at least YOUR truck isn't missing anything...

Yeah, just called the shop and confirmed. He said the 4runners don't use shims and also said that body shops sometimes use them as body shims. I had body work done like 2 years ago so maybe it fell out of a fender or something.

Good grief.... now I be wondering what it fell out of.. If you had a fender changed very possible.

I'm late to the party, but this is likely the case. Probably no big deal as long as all your stuff is still lined up.
