    Does it squeak when you rock it back and forth while parked or does it squeak while rolling? On or off brakes make any difference? This will help you narrow down the cause.

    There is a tool called a chassis ear that can really help pinpoint noises too.

    Thanks all, it seems to only squeak in the frontend at low speed, like a squeaky old truck, pushing on the bummers when parked almost no give, seems very solid and no issues when driving.

    Do you have the TRD skid plate? Notorious for squeaking at low speed

    Too many, but not enough....
    It's your skid plate. The TSB says torque to proper specs. That may work but if not, put some foam or gasket between the plate and frame at contact points and your good.

    Remove the skid plate, drive to verify, then add rubber washers if you determine that to be the cause. If not, you will have eliminated that and can keep on troubleshooting.
