What's this bolt? (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Long time lurker first time poster.

I have a 1994 FJZ80 that I recently did a bunch of work on, including a knuckle rebuild and front rotors and pads. I found this bolt in my garage and after double checking my work I can't figure out for the life of me what it is. Worth noting that I also bought a bunch of other parts for the truck and have done a lot of work on it recently.
It doesn't appear that the bolt fell out anywhere because it's so clean, and I just can't understand what it could be.

Does anyone know what this bolt is? Thank you

Give us a picture from the side, and of the top of the head

Magnetic drain bolt for something... Look underneath on the transmission, transfer, diffs and engine for a hole leaking massive amounts of fluid.

The head, and the coarse thread don't look Toyota to me, but wait for others to chime in too

This or a fill plug that has been replaced previously with an aftermarket part.

Nothing I recognise as Toyota. Almost looks like a bicycle part.

Got something for scale?

Looking at the end of it, kinda looks like a detent plug for a transfer case.

Knew I had seen this before, just couldn't place it. Here are your culprits.

Floor jack locking bolt.

Not from the front axle
Nothing that I have seen on my 94

Way too small for a drain bolt, wrong threads, unmarked head. Not a Toyota part IMO.

Floor jack locking bolt.

I think this is the winner.
