Pinjon pointin straight forward and its 87°
Transmission output point straight to the back and its 87°

More pictures. Does it seem right

It makes that grrrr sound when you let of the gas.

I thought noise on the coast was an indication of worn ring and pinion gears. Any work done to the third member?

I think the general consensus here is that your asking way to much of the u-joints and eventually they will fail in this configuration.
It'll be damn near impossible to get this to work with a centered rear differential. If you centered your rear differential in line with the output
shaft of the Transfer Case your problem will solve itself.

Thats maybe true

Wait a minute I now see, you’ve got them not centered to each other? Rear is diagonal to the transfer? Yeah I know naught of this stuff really other than seeing the diagrams here on mud but that does seem to be asking too much of the joints.

63 FJ40's still had a center rear diff and a passenger side transfer output.

Go to the 40 section and find someone w/ that setup and find out what’s different.

Yes thanks!
