Could be inside the t'gate; esp the torsion bar.
Look for pics and tech articles in Big bronco site at:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/miesk5/BroncoTechnicalLinks/index.html
..If not in the gate (can you have someone sit back there w/a garden hose section and try to place the noise source?).. then the carrier could rattle, they are prone to that; ck the torqueon the spare wheel lugs and the handle assy.

Good luck!
