Fix a problem, another will arise (Reverse clunking)

I have a repetetive clunking when I have the tranny in reverse (at a stop/brake on). My feet can feel it on the floorboard. I can't hear it from underneath (motor's too loud). It sounds/feels like something spinning and hitting something.
 
I don't think it would be bushings, 'cause it clunks and clunks when I'm not moving.
The driveshaft isn't moving when it's stopped, so u joints are probably out right?
 
check your transmission mount and mounting bolts. i had the same problem. it was the exhaust hitting the crossmember. i ordered a new down pipe from 4wd.com and it should be here within the next couple of days.

hope this helps.

my pipe was hacked apart and welded back together a couple of times so its bent up and whatnot.
