NP231J problem

Took my 96 Cherokee to a local shop and while it was in air on car lift I could turn the front drive shaft and can hear what sounds like rocks rolling in the transfer case. Also while in gear and driving in 2wd it makes noise. If I don't repair this is it safe to drive on the road until I can afford to fix it?? Thank you in advance for help!!

X2 on fix it yesterday. You don't want to risk it blowing up on you when you're miles from home or civilization.

or even worse, you could lock your t-case up on the freeway from a broken chain or sprocket and you will be going home in a body bag, so cough up the doe and get it fixed, or at least crack it open and take a look if you have the right tools handy
