Vic,

My 2000 4Runner has done that since I drove it off the lot. I have never been able to determine if it was the rear axle wrap (binding) as has been indicated here or if it is the transmission actually shifting back into first-gear after coming to a complete stop. There have been a few instances when mine has not done it such as when I come to a stop slowly, sort of easing up to a stop. I guess I have just became used to it. I do keep my driveline greased every few months (driveshaft spline, u-joints, etc.) so lack of grease is not an issue for me anyway. I guess it would be nice to know for sure what is causing it because if it is transmission shift related then it should not be doing that. But like I said, no transmission problems that I have found on my 4Runner and it has been doing this since just about day one.
