A-Trac makes weird noise

[layonnn]

First off, i serached for this and found nothing.
I took my FJ off road last night behind my friends house. When i went to use a-trac to get out of a hole, it made this clicking type noise. It sounded kind of strange. Is this normal or something i should look into?

Those are squirrels fighting beneath your FJ.

If it sounds like the CV is coming apart under you, it's working normally.

that clicking noise is a sound of beauty a-trac rocks.

Yeah, first time I used it it scared the crap out of me. Sounded like I was running over heavy Tupperware bowls on the pavement and popping them.
It's normal though.
