Clicking noise in front end?

Finally got my new to me 2010 JKUR (105k) on some trails. I can hear a clicking noise in 4H while on the trail. Didn't notice the noise in 2 wheel drive or on the road. I checked the front driveshaft and all is tight. Any suggestions on what to look at next?

Check your axle u-joints...

Edit to add,

Remember, almost all of the front-end parts still rotate when in 2WD. The difference is being driven instead of driving. If everything looks okay on the axle u-joint I would try isolate where the sound is coming from better. Hopefully not something in the t-case.

Agreed. If it's a rotational like clicking, I would give your axle shaft and front drive shaft u-joints a look. Could be they are dried out, cracked and/or just in need of replacing.
