driveline problems

hey guys its been a while. So this is the second time ive noticed this problem and it seems to be getting worse each time. Im debating whether its my rearend or my transfer case.
The first time i was messing around with my girlfriend on the expressway, she was in her jeep and i was in the ole 4runner and when i got off the expressway i noticed that my truck didnt want to go. It acted like i was pulling a car trailer fully loaded. I pulled over and checked out my driveshaft and to see if everything was ok, and being able to see in the dark like i can, i didnt notice anything and drove on and after that it was fine. Well i just made it home with the same problem, only this time it wouldnt make it up a 20 degree hill, going 35 in second gear it was decelerating and the motor was just working too hard to pull itself. pulling in the driveway i noticed that the vibration got harder and louder. Im kinda glad i just bought the honda saturday because i dont want to push this truck 50 miles to school and back. Please let me know what you guys think.

not that i know of, only the usual ticks. I did notice the other night that there was alot of gear oil around the rearend, but not enough to make a puddle under it or anything. And for some reason the tcase only started showing oil on it after i changed the clutch, but i didnt take the tcase off.

Not sure if I am way off here, but it you were on the express way and got off I guess you had to use your brakes... Have you check to see if your brakes are hanging up? Just a shot in dark.. Good luck with this.. Hope this helps.

i did have a problem with my right calip hanging up a while back, but i didnt smell burning breaks or anything. It only really does it when i try and accelerate..like its bogging down. And only after ive drove it enough to really warm things up (express way). Maybe fuel filter or injector?
