    [FONT=&quot]https://www.dropbox.com/s/8o0kjr30eyzsnvp/Toyota Rubber Pads 6B.jpg[​IMG]What is this black rubber pad thing which is about 2"x 2"x 0.75" and has ahole in the middle? First one came off a week ago (ie about May 11th) in my driveway as I was driving up on a inclined ramp to work under my 2002 Toyota Tacoma Dbl Cab 4x4 V6. I heard a "clunk" noise in the front right wheel well and later noticed the rubber pad laying on the driveway.
    Second one came off in my driveway today.
    The rubber pads have a hole in the center.[/FONT]

    Do you have plastic ramps that you use for your truck when you work under it?

    If you do have plastic ramps, those pieces look like the "grip" pieces that go underneath the plastic ramps. I threw mine away long ago because they kept falling off. They go in these holes.

    its the rubber gripper from the underside of the plastic ramp to prevent them from sliding you must have slid your ramps or something and ripped them off.
