Oops, forgot to mention, it's the rear driveshaft... I adjusted the pinion
angle to get rid of vibes but I think I did it too late and now either the
cv joint on my driveshaft or the output transfer case bearings are gone, I
just dont know if the output shaft bearings (if there are any) would be
making that noise.

I went out and looked again, these ujoints have a fitting for greasing them,
so I did grease them up until they were full and the clicking noise is still
in the area, would'nt the joint full of grease at least muffle the clicking
if not temporarily eliminate it?

No. Grease can't stop play in a bad bearing. In fact, if it were
that stiff, it couldn't even be used as a lubricant. If the joints
were squealing or squeaking, it would quiet that. And the heavy odds
are it's the one of the joints. And, if they were dry, the other one
is also damaged.
