    I've done some searching but I cant seem to find anyone who's that this same problem as me, I have an 08 Tacoma, double cab short box 6 spd, 3" lift, 285\70\17's. now, my issue is that when I take off from a dead stop more so on flat or incline (something with a bit of load) I get this weird almost deep rattle like if you were to take your tongue and put it on the roof of your mouth and blow out gently making a noise. it sounds like its coming from behind the glovebox, as far as I can tell you cant feel the vibration you can just hear it. I'm hoping someone else has experienced this or has a general idea on where to start looking, I can post a video to try and capture the sound if need be. thanks

    Have you pulled the glove box out?

    Maybe it's something dumb like the dampener for the glove box coming loose and banging around.

    Okay I've attached the video, I took the glovebox right off as well as the dampener and went for a little drive, I apologize for the drone in the video (truck is straight piped) I was completely off the throttle, the noise is definitely evident in the first takeoff

    Have you pulled out the cabin air filter and see if there is junk in it, or something rattling around in there?

    check your intake tube into the inner fender. they raddle when the foam gets worn out around it.
