    So 2012 Baja, 1inch toytec spacers up front, 1.5AAL in back. I suspect the carrier or a u joint. Just wanted you all to take a look. Not much play in the carrier, and all the ujoints seem tight. Going to check over all the heat sheilds, but something is loose... Take a look at the video, no gopro, but a cheap little camera that catches the sound good. Any insight would be appreciated!!! Thank you all so much!!

    I'm no expert, but if I had to guess, I'd say it kinda sounds like a bearing is dry.

    Can hear it more in the cab under acceleration, and in the video can hear it while costing.

    Ya, the exhaust muffles the sound a bit, but I heard it. When's the last time you greased your zerks? That would be the easiest thing to check first.

    Greased then about a month ago... They took quite a few pumps until grease came out.. I'm thinking about it now, I bet at least one of them was and still is dry...

    Yeah, reading through his build now... Dammit! :)

    I couldn't hear anything, but I'd start with greasing all 5 U joints, since that's cheap and easy. Then I'd spritz some WD40 in the carrier bearing. If the sound goes away, it's likely that.

    I was also chasing a driveline squeal, but never ended up solving it before I traded the truck in. Good luck!

    Sounds like bearing noise.
