This vibration is high frequency, it's in the driveline. Between cold weather and the holidays, I havent had time to do any more than slide under the truck yesterday and look for the T case fill plug,....never did find it.

I'm going with what Drowssap said, my rover clunks when accelerate sometimes, it's normal with an AWD car. My brothers Discovery does it, my fathers Discovery does it, and my discovery does it, it scared the hell out of me at first, but then I was told its normal.
Disregard what he says about the tires. Just notice the play in his front driveshaft, that could be your clunking.
EDIT: for your vibrations, check your rotoflex for cracking if your still using one.

Change the transfer case fluid or at least top it off. I had the exact same "clunk" when taking my foot off or putting foot back on. My tcase was a quart or two low. Use 85w140 or follow this thread:

Can't help with your vibration. Is the rotoflex that connects the rear shaft to the rear diff worn or cracking?

The T case took a bit over 2 quarts to refill,....so, I had to wing it with a bit of Amzoil Severe duty 75W110.
What used to be a loud metallic CLUNK is now more or less gone,....with just the slightest non metallic thump on accell when warmed up.
I did find some somewhat large bits (1/8-1/4") of Copper in the drain pan,.....anyone have any thoughts on what that might be from? Everything seems to be in good working order. thanks for the tip Caymanandrew.

I'll add to this, with a D2, remove the eight bolts holding the cross member bar to the frame, which obstructs access to the tcase. Also, get a 1/4" swivel adapter like this to access the fill plug:
And while you are down there, you may want to consider changing the transmission fluid and filter. Instructions here: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...uid-dii-23070/
Also, definitely change the front and rear differentials fluids, those are super easy, and use the same 85W-140 as the tcase.
