Front end clinking/banging noise...

Alright, so ever since my first offroad trip in the ol yota after that day of wheelin ive noticed a werid sound coming up front. I belive it is coming from the front suspension area. It happens on/off taking off at lights. It sounds like a metal on metal tink. Just once, and it doesnt do it every time. Its really werid, would you guys have any idea where to start looking? My only idea is the swaybar? I'll be under the truck tommrow tinkering around seeing whats going on...

Thanks guys, and help is awesome.

look at the front brake calipers and sliders while you're in there.

Sounds like the Anti-Rattle Clip/Spring on the brakes is missing.
