Tracking down a rattle - please help

I have a horribly annoying rattle that I just can't find. It sounds like it's coming from just below the back right corner-glass, but it's big. It pops under load and rattles over bumps, but I have no idea what it could be. Any ideas?

I would check that your power antenna motor is not flopping around in there!

your shock might be a bit loose. That would explain the Pop sound.

RXTbone, I just wanna say.. damn, your wheels look good. You even got the tires mounted in the same place on each rim. Very nice.

Do you still have your jack in the stock location? If it's not pushed down into the bracket it can make one hell of a racket.
