Oil Change - Strange part fell out

[AVincent]

I was changing my oil today on my 2005 Sport Edition 4.7 and when removing the skid plate a rubber piece fell out. I'm hoping it is something that fell off another car and found a home under the skid plate. I don't see anything missing from any of my front parts. Anybody recognise this as part of a 4Runner?

Thanks

Do you own a set of Rhino ramps?

The black rubber piece in your picture looks exactly like a rubber pad on the bottom of a Rhino ramp.

Man do I feel like a stupid idiot!! You are correct - I was using those ramps when changing my oil and that piece came off one of my ramps. When I removed the skid plate, I noticed that rubber piece and assumed it came from the skid plate.

Thanks so much for the reply - you eased my mind.

You guys use ramps to change oil?

Does it all drain out?

Sorry...I just crawl under and drain the pan...then the filter. I took off my skids plates since they're a pain and I really don't off-road it....if I do...I'll just slap'em back on.

I also took off my skids on the '98 and the spare tire....maybe I'll get an extra .25 MPG? J/K

Later dudes.
