    im stumped at this point & am probably just overlooking the issue.. 23 tacoma sport 4x4, bilstein 5100s all around with ome 2888 springs & diff drop kit. (less than 1k miles on lift install)
    front driver side wheel well has started making a rattling noise over bumps almost sheet metal like. i feel like i checked everything but my brain is fried at this point.

    Shouldn't be but just a stab, have you checked the catalytic converter heat shield?

    I had a wierd noise on mine that I could not track down. Saw somewhere deep in the 3rd Gen archives to check the body mounts. Both my front cab mounts, (where the Cab Mount Chop would be done), were just a little loose. 1/4 to 1/2 turn on each and the rattle went away. Been good for a year or so now.

    Could be the hood scoop. Swap for a non-scoop hood, adds HP, improves mileage and top speed. :rolleyes:

    Nice, glad you found it and that it was still there.
