I recently went playing in some mud/water, in my 4runner... about a week
later, i re-engaged 4wd, now on the right side of my truck "i think" i hear a rubbing sound, kind of like draggin brakes...
Now the sound may not be isolated to the right side,,,,,
Could this just be my front drive shaft all full of mud and water and needs some grease ???
Thoughts?
Has anyone had a simular issue after 4whelling??? i've only ever gone 2 or 3 times so i'm still kind of green, when it comes to this.

Get underneath the truck and take a look. Clean and inspect everything and see if you can find out what is going on. Try isolating the noise by locking and unlocking the hubs and spinning one or both wheels with the front end in the air.
