for a nasty grinding noise i would suggest the front diff or cv's but more likely the diff from my experience. they are weak and break easily. jack the front end up and with it in 4wd spin one wheel and the other should spin the opposite direction. It should spin smoothly, if it any stage it locks up or gets hard then the diff is most likely stuffed.

If it does spin smoothly, with the front up you should be able to isolate the noise abit better. see how you get on.
