Anybody else have a sound which sounds like a 1" nut in a coffee can rolling over on 3 or 4 faces of the nut when you take off in 4wd? Happens in both part and full time.

Edit: I only hear it if my window is down and I don't hear it in 2wd. Is it some sort of automatic hub engaging sound?

Wow, that’s an oddly specific description.
Have you looked for any coffee cans stuck underneath your Jeep? :wink:

Seriously though, my first guess would be a worn out joint on the front driveshaft. It’s a very common problem.
If you remove the front driveshaft, drive it around in part-time 4wd, and the sound goes away, that is most likely the problem.
