CV clicking noise from Transfer case?

Hi,
Have been trying to resolve a cv style clicking noise coming when in 4x4 or hash acceleration from lights. so far I have replaced the cv's and recond the front diff (put an ARB airlocker in at the same time), took the old girl for a run up to Kalbarri this week, went exploring the country side, hit a patch of mud about 50m long, selected L4 and off I went, 1/3 the way through, started to dig in, had to work the girl harder, then bang, bang, bang etc. horrible sound through the car??? made it though the patch, but called it a day, but NFI about what is causing the banging.

Could it be the uni joints? or transfer case?

It's not a good noise and turns heads when it does it

Hi,
Have taken the girl to the local Toyo dealer, the dude there reckons it's the chain slipping in the transfer case. Dropping it off tomorrow for a closer look, the slipping chain idea does match type of noise I've been hearing.
Cheers

Toyo dealer confirms the timing chain is the issue, $2500 to fix the transfer box, time to research a cheaper solution

DAMN.... How many K's are on it?

You might be better off sourcing a 2nd hand transfer if thats the case, or maybe talk to Mattif you are SOR. He's an ex Prado owner and mechanic that has a shop in Madurah. Jeff S or Chippy can put you in touch with him.

Buy me a transfer case from an FJ cruiser and you can have mine...

290000kms clicked over in kalbarri, have managed to find an after market chain for $500 and a trans place will to fit for ~$500, may pay if I "PM" Mattif to get his thoughts, thanks Mumsrig

the case has been in the workshop, the dude looked at the chain and cogs, was not convinced my problem was the transfer case.
Decided to go ahead and recon the transfer case considering the KMs done.
New chain and cogs ordered and arrived today, the dude was surprised buy the difference so looks like the problem may be resolved, waiting for the case to be assembled , hopefully I can put it in next weekend fingers crossed

Put the reconditoned case back in today, have tested on the power lines at back of kalamunda, did what the toyota dealer tech did (pretend burn out ,left foot on brake, right on the go pedal) no clicking YEAH F*C*Ing HOO !!!!
Cost ~2k to fix plus a couple of weekends of my (really my stepson's) time under the old girl.
Now it's time see where the old girl can take me
