Yep, every forum is cursed by a few of those.

You might just need to have the u-joints lubed, front and rear.

Now that you have told us that the noise occurs when its not moving, then it couldn't be the u-joints. Anything else you haven't told us about?

is it the transmission or is it the transfer case lever that vibrates and makes a sound. if it is the transfer case lever, then there's nothing to worry about it.
