Default Any good Noise diagnosticians?

I have a 13' JKUR with 9000 miles. After a few wheelin trips to Moab I now have a "clunk" coming from my front left side. I have a 2.5" AEV lift. It seems more frequent with sudden compression but also happens with wheel travel. It doesn't happen during daily driving. I can't reproduce it on demand but it is getting noticeably worse the more I off-road.
I've had a spotter watch the front suspension and we really can't find the source.
Where do I start? Or do I let it get worse until its obvious?
Thanks!

Gopro it and see what the camera sees, unfortunately that's probably the best way to really capture what's happening and that's provided the noise of the motor doesn't disguise it.

Not a bad idea, I'll give it a try.

Any other thoughts?

I had a clunk coming from my front left side and it was the frame side track bar bolt. It would clunk when I turned all the way right or left. New hardware kit from Northridge 4x4 took care of it. Good luck!
