Figure it out?
I'd be suspicious of control arms. If they've been removed/replaced/loosened they may not have be torqued back down where they need to be. If you think about it; when braking, the axle is pulling forward on the upper control arms and at the same time pushing backwards on the lower control arms. As you come to a stop the pull lessens and the control arms settle back to normal locations (even if it's a 1/16th of an inch in movement) it's enough to make a clunking noise.

I purchased my 2021 Gladiator Willys with 22k on it back in June. It has a slight loose clunk feel when coming to a stop, and when taking off. The best way to describe it is, it feels like axle wrap. Something that would normally be found in a leaf spring suspension. I have checked brake bolts, caliper bolts, bearing bolts, control arm bolts, and driveshafts. So far I have not found nothing. It does not happen all the time, but it should not happen any time. I hope you find your culprit.
