I'm assuming you have 4WD, so you can unbolt the driveshaft from vehicle and drive in 4WD just using the front wheels. Just use a sharpie or whiteout and mark the position of the driveshaft on both flanges before removal. You'll know if that was the culprit. Finding clunks and vibrations is often just a process of elimination.

I have the 2WD, hence why I was upset when I went and bought the grease gun just to crawl under and realize the u joints of the 2wd is non greaseable.
I assume I can jack under the crossmember in the front?
My current plan of action is to, have a friend drive the car while I listen outside to pinpoint the location of the noise, and know what kind of trouble I am in.
I am probably just going to end up taking it to the mechanic. Sadly my living situation right now doesn't allow me the time, location or tools to do it myself.
