Default Why did I miss this? DII Vibration

So total... To fix my vibration

Front drive shaft rebuild 100$
Front driveshaft replacement 300$
Muffler that driveshaft took out 185$
Seems like It somehow took out 02 also $$ ??
Now, thankfully shop didn't charge me but they cannot find the source of the vibration, its not the tires there thinking its internal.. Bearing in Transfercase or Tranns?

So there sending me to a driveline shop that they have sent other land rovers to. Hopefully its nothing too expensive.. I have to say its the first time Im letting others diagnosing my problems instead of my self and man it feels good. When you got money than time its all you can do.

It vibrates bad from about 30-40 and then a little less from then on.

New driveshaft seems to have changed the frequency, I'm going to personally check the rear roto then it's off to a shop.

The output shaft on the t-case can go bad, the bearings I mean and it will vibrate.
Remove the front driveshaft, drive it, is it gone?

You have a 98, just engage the CDL.

Check the motor and transmission mounts. After replacing mine, three of the four mounts were separated, the last vibration disappeared.

What year is your DII?
Dont you have the CDL nipple on your t-case?
I thought you had a '01, but I've almost been wrong before.

Sorry 03. Best of the best.. I'm considering getting the CDL and then doing my own diagnostics since I want CDL anyways
