Yesterday, I went for a little wheeling fun on the beach which of course mandated a cleaning before putting my Bronco to bed. I was very thorough on cleaning the undercarriage to rid it of salt and sand. When I was done, I pulled my Bronco into the garage and noticed this part that was laying on the concrete. It was located in the vicinity of the area forward of the rear differential. I'll crawl under today to see if I can figure out where it came from. The material is soft, flexible rubber with no apparent defect to the outer or inner ring other than surface abrasion on the outer ring from dirt/debris. Any idea from the B6G Brain Collective? @flip @Ducati1098

Just ran through several pages of illustrations and couldn't find anything like that. I assume you have plates or the plastic shields underneath? Might have picked it up from something else and it finally came out. Anything else park in the same spot?

I have a Black Diamond so full steel skids. No one else parks there. It wasn't there when I washed the Bronco. And I didn't see it fall out. It was just laying there after I pulled the Bronco into the garage. The area that it would have come from was in the vicinity forward of the rear differential.

Looks to me to be a selector knob beauty ring from another auto that you may of kicked up on the beach.

No idea, but from the looks of it, it's been run over a few times. Likely from somewhere else and just got kicked up into your undercarriage...

I’m stumped, can’t think of anything I’ve seen that looks like that.

Not sure if serious, but I'll take the bait in asking what is that?
Probably help if she spelled it correctly… :rolleyes:

Anyways, it almost looks like the grip/shrouding around a climate control knob, GOAT dial, or shifting dial. I checked - it’s not, but I wonder if it’s something similar from another vehicle. As @flip mentioned, you just picked it up at the beach with your undercarriage shovel.

Good morning Ken, what @604Bronco said, looks like the rubber casing that might be on a vent bezel from inside someone else's vehicle that hitched a ride on Luna.

Just spent the past 2 hours on my back trying figure out where it would go. The good news is that I was able to polish my frame at the same time.

I'm going with something bounced up in your undercarriage.
