It's wiring for a trailer brake controller, those two self-tappers above it were holding the bracket for the controller. Pretty common to see in pickups, nothing to be concerned about.
Example of a controller:

Do you have a trailer hitch harness that has a little converter box like this?
Those things do not like LEDs.
Here you go you can use the Amazon link or use the second link to go to the Reese site and use where to buy to look for a local store.

Doesn't necessarily come with the receiving hitch and those are like $400.
The brake controller wiring harness is pretty easy to install. I got mine here and there's a video for the install: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/YWJ500170ABP
Get a Tekonsha brake controller from Amazon and this wiring harness: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NZQIDE/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Finally, you need to get the Rover programmed to have a trailer. That was like $100 from a local Rover mechanic.
The front hubs are AISIN FHT-018. Warn sells a kit as PN 29918 Spindle Nut Kit for the conversion, or you can get the parts from Toyota but I don't know their part numbers.

It's pretty easy to get a trailer to be road legal, I've built a few myself. It's a simple application process. As for wiring it, that's easy, too. You can buy a trailer lighting kit for less than $20
If it has a hitch it's not unlikely that the harness exists for the trailer brake. Look online. This trailer brake is inexpensive and really easy to use.

honestly a trailer brake controller makes sense seeing as this truck was obviously used for a lot of hauling...thanks people.
edit: imagine that....I google "Engage trailer brake controller" and that's all the image results.
