I still have not had time to take mine in to the driveshaft place......going to do my front brakes this weekend......greasing my driveshaft made the noise go away for a day! Cece what if this whole time its been your slipyoke and you just had it to the wrong place to get fixed? I would take it to a driveline place where its all they do.......Ryan let us know if your is fixed after they replaced your ujoints alone....
Ask forgiveness, not permission.

correction....I will be gimping it to the shop in the morning.....not sure if when I accidently drifted it about a month ago (glad I didnt flip) if that did something to the brake caliper on the passenger side, but I have a bad grinding over there with braking and took the tire off tonight and go figure cant brake loose the bolts holding it on.....never can, dang bad shoulder and no strong guys around! hoping that its something easy as this one feels like a Cece VX lol.....thank goodness for medication.....

update NEW CULPRIT for me
Driveshaft place said yoke is perfect, U-joints are shot. Called Merlin, got both u-joints ordered for the rear driveshaft, but wouldn't you know it each u-joint is a different size and 1 is back orderedSo I need to figure out which other size I need and order that one from Indy4x, because the driveshaft shop has my rear drivesahft and only 1 of the new u-joints.
ALSO:
Looking through the Vehicross Manual and found out that our FRONT PROPELLER (DRIVESHAFT) has CV's much like our front axles and if these go out it can cause driveline shaking. SO I crawled under there and BOTH of my CV's on the FRONT driveshaft are shot and look like they have been that way for a while, the joint is dry and does not look good at all. Looks like after I get new U-joints for the rear I will be having the front driveshaft (or front propeller as the manual calls it) rebuilt. Any suggestions on how to do this or who to go to? Think the same place could rebuild it? Also manual says if shaking is happening to try and reposition the front driveshaft (propeller) to different holes on the front (diff) side when reinstalling allen bolts. I will try that after rebuilding the CV's on the front driveshaft (propeller).
For more info if you have the Vehicross Service manual just do a search for "front propeller shaft" and you will see what I mean.

Found some more info, so I think 1 item to rebuild the front propeller shaft (from the transfer case to the front axle) is this:
Transfer Case : Input Shaft Repair Sleeve http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1118230
I am assuming I will need the bearings, seals, and pilot bearings as well? Maybe?

That sleeve looks like a temperary fix...just a piece that gets wedged in there to take up the slop.
