looks part of a brake caliper to me!

[marcdtr]

Thats what i was thinking. I checked over the brakes and they work fine.
Maybe a mount but i cannot see anything.

maybe a landrover was parked there earlier

Looks to me like the backing plate for the pads if it's steel

Or the pad itself has separated from the backing ?

[marcdtr]

the brakes are still working fine no pulling no extra travel but im gonna change the pads at the weekend to be sure.
It measures
52mm L
20mm H
4mm W
Its steel.

Where abouts under the truck did it drop off ?

Looks like the metal backing for a brake pad, but not a surf one. It doesn't have the "shoulders" and the circle of rust in the middle suggests a single piston, not the two on each side of a surf calliper.

Could it have come from a different vehicle, or been thrown/kicked onto your driveway from the street?

Hard to tell from your pic without something to reference against but I think it's off the rear brake drum.

Is the round bit in the middle a bump? It fits into a corresponding recess on the outside of the drum.

Take the rear wheel(s) off you should find a matching dirt/rust outline and the dent.

They're a balance weight from the factory, I've seen them in various sizes.

I think that is a balance weight of one of the propshafts - if it is approx 40mm x 15mm.
I found one under my wifes Gen 3 last year.
Cheers,
Mark

Dodge spot on mate there's a clean mark where it's come off nice one.
Thanks everyone for helping with this.
