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

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

***** @charlesanaheim nailed it!!!! ***** :beer:
