I don't think it's the speedometer, mine doesn't tick. Does it sound like it's coming from the wheel or from under the Jeep?

could be your balljoints or wheel bearings. also, check your swaybar bushings, one of mine went bad and it was making a ticking sound like that, but would go away when i went faster.

Exhaust leak around the exhaust manifold area? Maybe your hearing your injectors? How loud is this noise your hearing?
