Water noise
I have a 2000 4x4 4 door. When i take turns i can hear water sloshing back and forth. I have looked all over and i still hear it. It comes from the the rear. Have you ever had this problem? Any ideas

ROFL! dude you are going to be both rediculously surprised and a little embarrassed if this is the fix I'm thinking of. After driving into a pond, i had the same problem FOREVER the damn back end sounded like a water park. WTF i would scream but alas it did nothing.
Then one day i poked my head under the passenger side in the rear and found a small plug near the exhaust pipe but up behind the bumper. there is a hollow area there that fills with water 9like when your in a pond) and this plug (black ruber, looks like a thin tipped vacumm attachment) lets the fluid bleed out, but not in.
mine was plugged by a french fry (?!) and let water fill until sand settled and used the fry to make homemade concrete. long story short, point your eyes in another ditrrection and pull the ENTIRE plug free. clean it out while the crud drains. then after it stops, re-insert the plug and squeeze it to see if it stayed clear. Bam, you will only hear that kind of sloshing when packing a keg now
enjoy your new piece of mind

Thanks for the HELP!!!
Hopefully peace of mind is soon at hand. Will take a look tonight. Then only question i have is how did the water get in there? I have not been going through any ponds or creeks here lately.

could be a bad seal at the back glass/hatch.
could be a bad seal at the bottom of the hollow spot letting road crud IN.
could be a damaged or loose rear window sprayer hose leaking.....
I hope that is the location of your problem.
