Default Rattling around 2800 RPM's

Hey guys--I've got a 1987 Cherokee Chief (manual transmission) and I've noticed there is a rattling/vibration that has started consistently occurring around 2800 RPM's, regardless of the gear I'm using.

Anyone else experienced this with advice on what to troubleshoot to stop the vibration?

Where does it sound like it's coming from?

Throw out bearing was my first thought.
