Found this tonight in the bed after washing it. Should I be concerned?

Now I'm no engineer or work in production for Ford. But washed the truck today and found this extra piece in the bed of the Raptor. Wouldn't worry so much if it wasn't for the fact it has Blue Flame overspray on it, the color of my Raptor. Hope that shouldn't be somewhere else holding something in place, and how the hell did it end up in the bed. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

It's a cotter nut. They are used for tie rod ends and wheel bearings stuff like that. Looks to me like it just got dropped in the bed.

I have to agree, I know what and where I'm just curious on the how part lol. If anyone is missing one I have an extra. Threads are not shiny so don't think it came of mine, overspray just had me wondering how this happened. Again, hmmmmm.

Wonder where it was when the truck was painted?

GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

Damn good question, not a clue where it would have been.

Have some duallys coming for the rear lights and going to place an order with TMX soon for a 40" blackhawk. Plan on the rear bumpstop kit and mid perch soon also. And linex the bed and rear fenders to start. Maybe tint the windows too. Soooo damn much out there for these things it's crazy but in a great way.
