    Hi All,
    I got a used 2014 TRD. I got it in a deal and needed a truck. I'm not super crazy about it. It has a weird trans clunk when coming to a stop. It's too tall to load stuff into due to a lift. It rides crappy and is fidgety on imperfections in the road, due to the lift. And the non functioning hood scoop is stupid. I took off the TuRD SPORT stickers.
    On the plus side it does start and stop well.

    I'd like to lower it back down and trade away the hood.

    Could it be axle wrap?

    does it clunk in and out of gears, R to D to N?

    No, when in gear coming to a stop. And not all the time, and different levels of Thunk. Sometimes a light thunk right after stopping and sometimes a bigger thunk up to 15 seconds after stopping. Dunno if its due to the 3" lift, or a sticky slip joint, or trans programming.

    Fill up your gas tank to the top and see if it still does it

    That's an interesting idea- but no. It still does it.

    shouldn't be hard to find someone willing to trade your sport hood with. The lift doesn't look that high, surprised that you find it difficult to load unload stuff out of the back.
    BUT...
