Bet it's the CV joint on the transfer case end of the front driveshaft. Noises range from horrible metal-on-metal to faint clicking when the CV is shot. The sound may seem to come from the front or the rear - but since the bad CV joint is almost directly below the driver's seat we can tell ourselves the sound is coming from almost anywhere... :roll:

To confirm, roll under the Jeep, shine a flashlight at the rear CV and look for a rubber boot. If it isn't there or it's torn the CV joint is bad. The part is less than $60 shipped from driveshaftparts.com and about 30 minutes to an hour of your time to change.

Does the sound get louder/worse as you are turning? I have a bad hub bearing which I will be replacing when I get back to the States.

Which CV joint? I've only done the tcase one and the hardest part was getting the old shaft out. But putting a new CV on it was easy. That part didn't take 15 mins.
