I just noticed the same noise. Mine is only when I turn left (for now). Going in for warranty service for an exhaust leak so I'll have them take a look at the front end too.

The thing to keep in mind here is that if you have the tcase in 2Hi then the front axles are not turning. That's not to say that the ujoint will not "make a noise", but it's not likely unless it is completely demolished and falling around inside the yoke like loose change --

I would suspect the ball joints. Lift the front and give the wheels a good shake. Make sure you have the wheels chocked and the diff resting on good stands - you may need to climb under there and get your eyes on the ball joints to tell.

Good luck and let us know what you find.
