I had a very similar sound and it turned out to be a loose inner fender liner.
My post about it: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/248753-grinding-sound-right-front-kick-panel-could-abs-89540-35122-a.html#post2873334
I think when I replaced the antenna a couple of years back I failed to snap back into place (or broke off) a couple of the clips that hold it in place.
Do you hear the sound at all speeds? In my case I heard it mostly at freeway speed.
