managed to squeeze under it while on the ground with a big scratch on my belly lol
the rear drive shaft spins a little doesn't seem out of the ordinary, from what angle I could grab and pull the rear pinion has no play.
front output of the transfer case has a lot more spin than the rear and has some up/down play more than the rear as well
I guess I will stop by the transmission shop and get there opinion
no leaks anywhere.

drove the front up on ramps and then put it in nuetral, seems like it is not as loose as it was while level though therefore less play

both the front axles feel about the same very small amount of play on both sides, I presume that is normal?

Hundred bucks says the transmission shop says you need a TC rebuild. But mine is essentially the same in terms of amount of rotational play on the front output shaft on my '07.

In first video to me the yoke is not far enough in on splines on transmission tail housing you can see where seal use to run.
