New Jeep, spare part in floor board?

[jdhunt0]

I took delivery of my Jeep today. When I got it home the first thing I did was put new floor mats in. Under the passenger front seat I found a small part. Not sure where it came from. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Muffler bearing for sure. All seriousness wish I could help, but no ideas from me.

No idea but today I found a bolt in the rear cup holders that looks like it would go to that! Have no idea where it came from.

Look at the threads.

Looks kinda like a jack mount part of some type.

A few months ago, I believe this same piece was noted on the floor of another forum member's JL and the member posted about it.... If I remember correctly it has something to do with the rear seats. His had inadvertently fallen off or...

Look under .. in the rear seat area for a similar piece... for somewhere a piece is missing so to speak.

Thanks. I have looked all over under the front and on the sound bar. Never thought to look at the rear seat.

It's hard to tell from the pic but those threads almost look stripped.

DEFINITELY part of the flux capacitor.

Its a McFarber bracket. It attaches to the pre-clampifier harness. That, in turn, keeps the Flurboid valves operational in the event that your Jeep tilts more than 16% on plane at speeds over 23 mph.

Finding a part like that disturbs you peace of mind and confidence in quality.
Hope it's nothing serious.
But it's definitely not a hub cap gasket.

That the part to fix the loose steering issue

That's the 'Blinker Fluid Reservoir Bracket'. Check under your hood; if the blinker fluid reservoir is detached/missing, your blinkers could overheat and cause a serious fire!

I think this is the best answer. It will go to the highest bidder.
