Default Rattle from back of jeep
I have a 33" MTZ on a Rockstar rim on my factory spare mount.

No lift kit

Thought my rear door needed adjusting. Dealer said it was fine

Any other areas I should check?

Silly Question: Have you checked the inside jack location area in the rear to make sure it is not loose? Are the hinge bolts outside on the hinges loose?

Check the mounts on your exhaust.

Had this happen as well. It was the plastic latch cover for the back glass. It wasn't snapped in place.

Actually, this was a real common problem with the 07s. It is the door and you need to adjust the latch. If you move the latch on the body slight back it should eliminate the rattle

Do you mean move the latch on the body towards the front of the jeep? Moving it forward would make it tighter...... Wouldn't it?

I'm sure that's what he means. He said, "back", as in "back away" from you, but toward the front of the Jeep will snug up the gate.
