Default 4x4 cos vibration at 110mph

i have a vibration coming from the middle of the car at about 110mph ive this for a while now ive changed propshafts for new ones and the rubber donught to an escort cos item as i cannot get hold of a saf one.
the last time i accelerated to try and get through the vibration i snapped my whole transfer box off.
any ideas would much be appreciated as it has been to various companys and noone seems to know the problem>

I'm interested to see where this goes too - I've got something similar, suspected it to be propshaft related, but haven't been able to look yet....
When you say "snapped the whole transfer box off" what does that mean exactly? like the side piece that the front prop comes out of, or the whole back piece of the housing?
