rattle under dash
Im getting some type of rattle underneath the steering wheel and kinda under or behind the glove compartment in jeep. It only seems to happen when at higher speeds....70-80mph.
Ive checked as I was driving to make sure there wasnt anything loose but cant seem to figure out what it is. Anybody had any issues like this, or have any ideas what it could be.
Only thing done recently was went to 33's and 2.5 inch lift

I had the same rattle, it started when we did Red Cone and Radical Hill, drove me fricken nuts that day. I pulled the lower plastic dash panel off and there was a big metal box, I believe it was like Infinity or something like that, I assumed it was for the stereo or something. Anyway, it was not bolted in, it was just kinda sitting in the pocket there. I threaded in a couple of bolts and that fixed the problem.
I dont know if this is what you guys are hearing but might be worth a look.

Good luck

I have the same noise.....not all the time, but always when above 60mph or on a really windy day. My thought is that maybe it's the front air dam smacking the frame. Noise travels in weird ways, but I havent tried removing it to see if the noise goes away.

I am thinking it is something in the door/panel that rattles with the wind, hence only at higher speeds/windy conditions
Thanks for everyones suggestions
