Is that not a 4wd one? They go 'inside' the idle screw hole on the throttle body - needing an O ring. 2wd ones poke out the throttle body and therefore do not need an O ring - but they do have the nut?

Maybe someones just put a nut on a 4wd one?

2wd one:

See how long it is it to 'poke' out the throttle body.

I reckon someone has had a mad moment and just stuck a nut on a 4wd one.

Sorry mate,hadn`t even looked at the link..

That is the correct one,the 2wd one doesn`t have the o-ring,for some strange reason you get the nut as well,even though you don`t need it.

looking again, the 1st one is a4x4 one - BUT with a lock nut which is definately a 2wd bit, the 4x4 one as said above screws in almost hidden into the throttle housing
