Unhappy Loud Rattle

I get a loud rattle whenever I hit any small bumps in the road, which is very often. It's coming from the passenger side, but I cannot figure out what it is to save my life. I took off the black panel under the glove box to check out the components kept above the passengers foot area, and everything seems fine. Could it be caused by any of the wiring behind the glove box itself? Or possibly something to do with the door?

Mystery Rattle

I watched a TLC/Discovery/SPEED Channel episode (several years back) devoted to this same topic. They spent 2 seconds suggesting I spend a whole day combing my car and tightening every exposed nut/bolt/head I could reach, interior and exterior. Then they spent a good portion of the show actually filming someone doing it to their car. Watching someone cinch up their entire car wasn't too helpful, but after I took the advice and did it myself, I noticed a lot of rattling was cured.

It may come down to that if the noise persists.

I cross referenced the date of my lift installation with the day that the rattle started. It started about 1 or 2 days after my lift was installed, so could it be something from that? What could be rattling loud enough from the installation that I can hear it very loudly from inside? Maybe I am just over-looking something....?
