RE: 4kqs question(s) - longish
<snip>
I tried several other things and just before I
was about to give up, I decided to lock the center differential to see
if anything would happen. Lo and behold the differential locked, the
wheels engaged and I was back in business.

Zain,
sounds to me like your Driveshaft Went. Its a common failure item
if not properly maintained. I lost mine 300 miles from home. But oddly
enough i coulnd't drive it because it would clunk. Not sure but I'd check
it out. If not, maybe the rear diff??? If something is spinning freely
then with the center diff unlocked, all power will go there. (Please List,
no lessons today on how both sides have same torque, blah, blah) :-)
Anyhow, I'm not really sure but I'd look back there and not up
front. Although I spose a front item like front Diff oculd have gone as
well. Or an Axle nut came loose and the axle backed its way out??? Just
shooting int he dark.
Good luck
