    What’s the story on this one? That looks a bit more angled than you would want,l.

    Thanks to everyone chiming in.

    It’s a Land Cruiser axle, the diff is offset on those which causes the compound angle in the driveshaft that you see. I was kidding around, but for reference I don’t have any driveline vibes even with that kind of angle.
    You might also check your rear u joint (at the rear diff pinion). Those are usually the first to go out and can cause weird vibrations at various speeds.

    Mine is straight from the transfer case to the carrier, offset from the carrier to the differential.
