We seriously need to come up with a unified, bizarre but somewhat believable answer that everyone sticks to when this comes up.

Good read for the rookies:

It is there to ward off the attack of a Panchee.

How about that it's the PS mount for a brace and that the left and cross member are missing. Then beno could ping in with a made up part number and the hapless fellow would end up driving down to his dealer trying to order the fictional part.

Trunk - you may be on to something. Although I like how creative all the Mudders get with responses but just once or twice it would be fun to get everyone going in the same direction.

It could be like muffler bearings. I'd heard about the joke but I had no idea that most every parts place and dealership is in on it and it's common to send the newb out for muffler bearings. Each place will say something like, "aw, just sold the last set, try . . .". Tons of fun.

Search mother fer. I'm tired of this popping up every month or so. If you would have just bought the right year truck you wouldn't have this issue.

Btw. My answer the last time this came up was the best. 1 vote.

I told someone that the LCs had the same weak rotting frames the tacomas have and that it was holding the two sections of frame together.

Alright, I got one: It's a US spec counter weight- they put it there to prevent cruiser lean, since most US LC drivers are about 40 pounds, on average, heavier than most Japanese drivers, this additional passenger side weight was designed to compensate. You'll notice prior to the 100 series a lot of older Land Cruisers all have some amount of lean towards the driver's side, well this is just one more advancement in technology that came with the 100 series- US market only.

 

[Romer]

I thought thats where the spare muffler bearings went

 

[Gunney]

my ME spec cruiser didnt have one im feeling left out!

no aftermarket thrust capacitor for me then...

 

[Topmounter]

It's the udder on your Land Cow

 

[yeti in ga]

I have one for sale if anyone feels left out. or you want to add one to the other side , for those who have American passengers

 

[Newps]

Where are the other three? Your truck should have four of these.

 

[re_guderian]

OMG!!! Did you touch it?!?!?!

 

[steenh]

It's specifically designed to bring the newbs out of the closet and get them to start posting on Mud.

 

[T100]

I have one too. My wife wanted to touch it, but I told her she couldn't cause she already broke hers off.

Time to come clean....It is a fishing line holder but some of the adventurous types have modded it with grade 12 spacers so that it can accommodate kite string.
