OK before I dig into it, maybe someone will recognize these symptoms and have an idea for me. Lately, when I have my hubs locked and am going down the road in 2 wheel drive, I can hear a noise coming from underneath my Bronco. I assume it's from the transfer case. If I unlock the hubs it goes away so it's got to be something the front driveshaft is turning. The reason I have my hubs locked and running down the road in 2wd is that it's more convenient when going to the beach to just go ahead and lock the hubs before I leave. It has been doing it for a while but seems like it's getting worse.
Any ideas?

i would check the driveshaft and ujoints
reach under there and grab that driveshaft...try to wiggle it and see if there is a lot of slack. more than likely...you might have a cap failing at either end of the shaft.
how far are you driving with 2wd and hubs locked?

Yes Chuck, you were correct. Pulled it out last night and getting ready to rebuild.
