We've eliminated tires... but the 36" BFG Baja Radials weigh a ton so axle bearings are not a stretch...

sounds like wheel bearing if it was your diff you would know trust me you would know, it could be the u joints hard to say with out physically hearing it do you notice anything different while  driving outside of the noise?

Does your e-brake lever have funky/ different feel?  I had a noise like that and it was coming from a loose spring on the passenger side rear wheel.

I'll have them check that as well.... rear hub bearing was out for sure... as my truck was used as a prerunner by the original owners during tear down we discovered that it had more than likely had a broken axle or something in that right rear that failed while out in the desert. The repair was obviously made with the tools on hand... so the pieces are at the machine shop being repaired prior to the installation of the new bearings and seals.... $1,000+ later and I hope to be back at it! 

The bad news is it ate up all the B-Day and Christmas funds that were designated for a rack insert, Hi-Lift and recovery gear! Phupht! Arrrgh!  

In time, in time....
