I know this is going to be hard to identify and it could be a whole lot of things but my 2000 Wrangler has developed a clicking noise when it is moving. Like I said I know it could be a lot of things, I replaced the U-joints in it about a year ago so I know that it can’t be a U-joint. Anyone else have any ideas what it could be?

You need to narrow down the area the noise is coming from first....
Check your brakes, hub bearings, or possibly the transfer case chain.
The U joints were replaced.... which ones ?
Driveshafts or front axles ?

Why can't it?
Which u-joints did you use...
Which did you replace?
You have 7 u-joints
They were the driveshaft U-joints and I replaced them with Spicer U-joints because I heard they were the best ones. I have to be going over about 10 mph to hear it

Put it in 4WD and noise seemed a little louder but maybe I was listening too close but when I turned the noise persisted, any thoughts?

To add...when was the last time you changed u-joints in the axles? If you don't know when it was last done you definitely want to get that changed.
ok, I watched a video how to change out an axle u-joint and that is WAY over my mechanical abilities. I was wondering what is a fair price to have a garage do that for me? I don’t want to get ripped off, but then again I want it done right. Any info would be appreciated
Not knowing where you live... different areas have different going rates for labor and repairs.
I would expect you to pay $300-400 to replace both axle U joints.
