Could be the transfer case, could be u-joints, I really don't know though.

You aren't driving it in 4WD on dry pavement are you? That will do as you describe.

Are all tires aired up to proper pressure and equal pressures?

Are all tires the exact same size? Same wear? A tire wrong size will wreak havok on the 4WD system.
