Have a look at the propshaft and center carrier bearing of the propshaft, other than that could be a engine mounting.

Ditto, I think it could be a engine mounting. Also check the gearbox mount.

If it is prop will it get worse the faster you go or will it go away as it is very bad at low speeds when accelarating but dont feel that much at 100 km/h

Then it is the rear prop. Check the universals for play. Also recheck the centre bearing for movement, also the yoke.

Hi to all
Just an update ,could not get prop sorted in polokwane so had a rebuild done at prop shaft master in Edenvale it is now sorted.
Was at RDW again on the weekend,have now only done 3 trails and about 3500km with all the mods,no more issues really enjoying her now.The crawl gear is awesome when climbing rock and tricky situations.
Thanks to Ronald from 4x4 Traction Polokwane for a job well done
