wayyy to many variables here. Did it just lock up all the sudden? was it sitting for a long time? did it go "bang" and stop?

I THINK he's saying the wheels are locked up and he wants to know if he should look at the trans or transfer case.

Should've pulled the driveshafts instead of ripping the bumper off. Do the front wheels spin?

Was he actually moving and it just locked up or was he at a stop and when he went to drive off it was locked up?

My guess is a bad rear, maybe broke a ring and pinion. Had it happend to a buddy of mine on his Bronco. Scared the crap outta him when it went bang bang clunk, schreech! Had to pick the thing up and tow it from the rear to move it.
