Playing in the snow got me this. I heard a pop an noticed drive shaft seems way to short 8 in lift with an Np-280 transfer case seems like maybe a roller bearing may have gone out in the tail housing

definately too much driveshaft yoke hanging out. and sure looks like something went down. I'd pull the shaft and then pull the tailhousing off and see what's up.

nice trans mount, body lift puck and long bolts?

Ooof. Yes, besides the t-case repair, something has got to be done with that t-case mount. If the puck falls out, stuff is getting torn up. If it stays in place, that's basically a solid mount and something is going to give. Like the trans case.

I had to have my stock driveshaft lengthened even with a 4" lift.

Ha, I just noticed the ag tire too. So this must not be a street rig then.
