Default Big Time issues!!! Please HELP!!!

Alright where to start so in 2wd i have no issues but when it is cold it does make this sound once and awhile then goes away....

in 4 high this is the noise it makes when turning and going straight

in 4 low this is the noise it makes when turning and going straight.

Please help me diagnose this issues hoping you are not going to tell me it is the Transfer Case!!! could be the CV joint on the front because there is oil sprayed everywhere...

Sounds like could be a bad driveshaft. You wont notice the noise in 2wd because there is no torque on the front shaft.

That sounds terrible! I sheared a tooth off the rear gear in an old 2wd truck that sounded a lot like that. It was like I was grinding up a metal can in the rear end. You going to get that fixed in time for Drummond?
