    Do you have caliper covers? I’ve heard they can rattle.

    Hmmmm, is it definitely outside the cab? Rattles can echo like crazy.

    Roll pass. Side window down and you can really hear it.
    I even thought about taking the toyota step bars off to see if its something inside of them. I hate them things anyway

    thats easy, smack them around (the bars). Check the bolts and washsers I guess

    also crawl under and with a cool exhaust, slap it with ur palm..... see if its a shield.

    Maybe just a loose bolt on the steps?
