My T4R doesn't have the tick but neither does my 07 Tacoma. I've read alot about this tick, but have never heard it.
I do however have a rattle, but it came after I installed the TRD supercharger......
Also who might know if my front an rear fox shocks from the 09 Taco would possibly work on the 4runner. Maybe I can pull that stuff off along with my wheels/tires to save on the mods.
