Stuck driveshaft

[VorTekX]

So I was able to get the 4 8 mm bolts holding it in off, as well as the two retaining clips, but I have no idea how to get the thing to move! I sprayed the U-joint with PB blaster and let it sit but when I go to get it off tomorrow, do I need to hammer it towards the transfer case or towards the diff?

gently hammer it back and forth until the ujoint lets go of the yoke.    sometimes your foot can do it.  no need to direct the force towards the t-case.  unless you have a skinny prybar.  then you can pry the ujoint off the yoke.

Is the yoke the thing it was connected to at the diff?

yes, the yoke is part of the differential.  the ujoint sits in it.  it's probably just stuck from flash rust.
