Are you driving on dry roads in 4WD when this happens? Whats happening is your wheels are turning at the same speed but in different directions and it causes the t-case to pop and your front end to jump a little

Need more info. When is it happening - on or of road? Is it just the noise, or can you feel it well? Can you tell where the noise is coming from - wheels, middle of the Jeep, etc? The more info you give the better we can answer.

You shouldn't be using 4lo on pavement, or 4PT either. If you have a 242 TC with the 4FT setting you can use that on pavement - otherwise you should only be in four wheel drive when the ground is slippery enough to allow some slippage which will allow for the different speeds of the front and rear axles in a turn.

Could be a binding U-joint in either the axel or the Drive shaft, could be slipping TC Drive chain....
