I've been working on a Warforged Juggernaut for a while now and this forum has given me tons of ideas (some of which I will have to make new characters for because it didn't quite work the way I wanted it to). But I've come to an issue, by taking the Adamantine Body feat my base land speed is reduced to 20 feet, and I am considered to be wearing heavy armor. I'm trying to build a charger (no mount) but 20 feet is slow.

Fighter 4/Warforged Juggernaut 5/Frenzied Berserker 10

Roleplaying a deep hatred of evil mages so I charge into battle after them. (It's too bad that I couldn't get Forsaker to work. But that means I can use magic items now!)

Well obviously the boots of striding and springing for the +10 movement speed.

Boots of skating for +15 on level ground another +15 down hill and no bonus up hill.

A wand of expeditious retreat for a pretty good bonus and its a first level spell so stock up.

Wand of fly because it already had a speed of 60 with the added benefit of ignoring difficult terrain for your obvious melee character and getting those pesky flyers.

Quicksilver boots so you can use a swift action as a move action to get double movements in to double your movement.

Belt of the battle charger to charge as a standard action paired with quicksilver boots even with your 20 speed the ability to move 80 feet.

You can combine magic items for a bit more money so just an example the boots of striding and springing, quicksilver boots and belly of the battle charger combined with your movement now for 120 feet

Other useful buff spells include:
Cloud Wings (SpC 49) [Drd 2] gives a good untyped buff to your existing fly speed and lasts 1 hour/level
Wings of the Sea (SpC 240) [Clr/Drd/Rgr/Sor/Wiz 1] gives a good untyped bonus to your existing swim speed but sadly only lasts 1 min/level
Burrow (SpC 41) [Drd/Rgr 2] grants 30ft. or 20ft. burrow speed, depending on encumbrance/armor for 1 min/level
Rapid Burrowing (SpC 166) [Drd/Rgr 1] gives a decent untyped buff to your existing burrow speed for 10 minutes/level
Expeditious Retreat (PHB 228) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/expeditiousRetreat.htm) [Brd/Sor/Wiz 1] increases your base land speed by +30ft. which may be useful for other spells that grant flight, some do it based on your base speed (1 min/level).
Longstrider (PHB 249) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/longstrider.htm) [Drd/Rgr/Travel 1] increases base land speed by +10ft. for 1 hour/level
Haste (PHB 239) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/haste.htm) [Brd/Sor/Wiz 3] increases all movespeeds by +30ft. in addition to other goodies for 1 round/level
Fly (PHB 232) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/fly.htm) [Sor/Wiz/Travel 3] gives a fly speed of 60/40ft. depending on encumbrance/armor for 1 min/level

Not entirely sure, but I think that the Tooth of Savnok (of the Teeth of Dahlver-Nar would do it. 2k to move at normal speed when in med/heavy armor or at med/heavy load. Tome of Magic p79
