My initial thoughts are one of three things:
Driveshaft clunk (heard about this before)
Transmission fluid low/needs flush (hesitant of lifetime fluid Toyota advertises)
Transmission is just getting old/worn needs to be redone.
For reference: 2005 V8 Limited 249,000 miles as of yesterday
Done a great deal of maintenance on this car but never anything transmission based so my knowledge isn’t too solid in that department. Any ideas or info at all would be great!

It sounds like a transmission issue to me, being low on fluid would be my first suspect, I would do the fluid level check procedure and hopefully you find it's low on fluid, if so add fluid until you get the proper level correct and then hopefully it solves your issue.
