If the noise changes then it's likely the bearings.

Thank you for the advice on this one - I'll probably take a stab at it with the center bearing. I hate taking the driveshaft out though - what a pain.
I'll re-check my axle bolts - but unless it's both bearings this seems unlikely, I cannot isolate it to a side.
As long as it's not the diff I can deal with it :-) I dont want to source a 2.88.
