Help me diagnose a clicking noise?

It's been sitting for 3+ months as I've been getting parts, and I've only drove it about 10 miles from where i bought it home.

Put the back axle on a good set of jackstands and put it in gear. At least you can isolate to rear axle/front axle. Im assuming it only happened when driving

based off the noise and where it is coming from, I think it's the ujoints in my CV, I tried to see if there was play, but couldn't find any, BUT they do look pretty rough. I bought a "rebuild" kit, for the front axle.
