Default Vibration under full throttle

My 03 with 101K miles has developed a "seat of the pants" vibration under full throttle. I feel it the most in second gear but cant swear that it is as smooth as it used to be in the other gears.

It does not seem to be related to left or right turns.

Could it be motor or transmission mounts or is it most likely the half shafts?

Any thoughts, comment or suggestion are appreciated.

Sounds like motor mounts. Can you feel it in the shift knob?

No shifter vibration. I am leaning toward the axles. I have been in touch with my shop and are discussing possibilities.

There have been endless threads on this.

Pitted axle buckets, 100%. Record low miles for this so far is 29k.

I had this issue Capt'n and John @LHT hooked me up with some Gator axles. Smooth now.
