Front bumper chirp

[Kawffin]

I noticed a chirping sound coming from my front bumper every time I went over a bump. I pounded the bumper with my fist a few times trying to zero in on the chirp. After a while i chalked it up to it being loose so I decided to take the skid off and investigate further. This is what I found., a rock lodged so perfectly in the framing of the bumper that it gave just enough play to make the metal chirp.

Wow! What are the odds of a rock getting wedged up there like that?! Good job figuring it out. My OCD would have kicked in and I likely would have torn the truck apart until I found it as well.

Funny, my first thought was a bird was in there.
