Is it only on acceleration or all the time at that speed?
What tyres you got on?
Have you replaced all 3 props?
Have you chacked engine / gearbox / transfer box mounts? _________________

Its on acceleration the harder the worse it is and only does it as I say between 15 and 18 mph doesn't matter what gear its in.
I've only change the two props to the diffs is it worth doing the other to eliminate it? |

I had a nasty vibration on acceleration and it was (/ is ) a combination of factors.
I had a totally shot Universal Joint (worst one I'veever seen!) in the prop that goes between the gearbox and transfer box.
Had a knackered transfer box mount (replaced them all with LR series 2 engine mounts, about a quid from your local LR spares shop).
Mud terrain tyres.
All that made worse by a missfire under load that she developed last year .
Still, all better now, well except for the tyres, they still cause a quite noticeable vibration
When you say you've replaced the props I assume you've got used ones? Did you check all the UJs? My local spares shop sells them for £8 each and they're dead easy to change _________________

Couldn't have put it better myself except to add check for signs of a missing balance weight on your props
However if changing them made NO difference it probably wasn't them that was causing it
I'd go for worn GBox prop UJs or loose mounts myself |
