Well done on finding it, never assume what is wrong. I once changed first the rear wheelbearings and then the diff because of a rumbling from the back. I even had a mechanic ride in the back seat to confirm it was the back axle. Made no difference, but when I changed a front wheelbearing that collapsed a few weeks later, the noise that was 100% from the rear disappeared.

If I were you, I'd take the rear drums off and clean up the rear brakes if there is mud inside.
And bring forwards changing the oil in the axles.

These vehicles will take you pretty much anywhere, but you have to pay for your pleasure by replacing things more often.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
