    I just bought a 2015 tacoma 4x4 and noticed when i go faster over speed bumps I hear a clunking sound on the way down. You think it could be the mud flaps hitting the bump on the down travel?

    Try it while riding the brakes a little...... I've noticed sometimes the pads shifting over bumps can create a loud clank.

    If your going fast enough it might just be your shocks fully extending before the tires contact the road again...
