Your pics aren't working, just describe where its coming from. First thing I think of when someone says "popping and cracking" I think bearings.

Don't use your gmail account, use photobucket or another photo sharing server. A description of where its coming from would help too.

Front axle or in the motor? Theres nothing under the belt and a whole lot under the hood, which is all towards the front.
Gotta ask the simple question, is it in 4wd?
Does it make noise while parked and running, or when your moving?
Does it make noise while turning?
Is your motor running normally?
Can you narrow it down to one part?
Shoot these answers back and we'll have something to work with.

Use the manage attachments button below and just add it from your computer to the site that way. Check your water pump too. loosen the belt some and see if you have play on the water pump pulley. I had this problem. I thought it was the rod bearings but its was the pump.

2wd
running and parked
it is constantly making the noise from the second i turn the engine on
the motor seems to be running normal but it all just happened today
this sounds super embarassing to say cuz it shows how little i know but its to the right of the big fan
