So when I'm driving now, I can feel these tiny almost like bumps or stutters and the brake and gas pedals. Wasn't sure if I was hearing it, maybe, hard to tell. So today I jacked up the front to give the wheels a spin by hand and both front wheels are making what I can only describe as some kind of a metallic tapping/ratcheting, or maybe like a metal chain sound jingling sound.
Both wheels make the same sound; did the bearings both give out at the same time? I don't see anything loose at a glance but I can't get on the creeper with my messes up neck hardly anymore.

I may have found out what it is.
My 4Runner sounded just like yours. The noise ended up being a loose cotter pin on the CV axel nut. It was loose enough to make that metallic noise as the wheel turned over. I just tightened it up with some pliers and the front end is silent once again!
I hope this helps!
