    Hi all,

    2021 TRD pro, all stock.

    When I hit a pronounced bump or drive over washboard I get a super loud thunk or noise from the front passenger end.

    Sounds like something is loose, loud enough to be metal on metal.

    A rattle doesn't really fit the description, but on washboard it can be pronounced.

    Dealer checked twice, said everything is good.

    I did the best inspection I could, even took the door off and checked that there was nothing loose in the mechanics there.

    Any ideas? I'm at a loss.

    Maybe check the front skid plate?

    I was chasing a rattle, ended up being a loose rear bolt on front skid...makes an awful racket.
