Twisting sound when I first accelerate

I bought my '90 XJ 4x4 2 years ago to pull my boat. It had 105K miles and now it has 130K. I noticed from the beginning a twisting sound under the vehicle (towards the front of vehicle) upon dead stop take off. It only lasts for about the first 5 to 10 feet. When I pull the boat it occurs for the same distance but a little louder. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

A Twisting sound when I first accelerate ?
Like Twisting a cats tail or a dogs?

motor mounts, tranny mount, ujoints, u bolt torque...check all

I bet its u-joint squeak from the front driveshaft

Check the fan shroud as well as the motor mounts. If the shroud is out of line, the fan will hit it under severe engine torque, even if the mounts are all right.

I'd also add the front swaybar bushing. Mine start grunting and groaning on takeoff and bumps every few months and I go out and hit them with the grease gun.
