Suddenly getting a metallic noise from the transfer case shifter. Check out the video below. I can even feel a corresponding vibration on the TC shifter when I hear it. Checked both the TC and transmission oil and I'm good. Thoughts?

Sounds like a bearing going out to me. You should look at the linkage and make sure its all in place and not out of adjustment because a bolt is loose or a bushing went bad.

You mean specifically on the transfer case? Anything specific to look for? I only get the noise when I'm travelling at higher speeds and I'm on the gas. No sound in neutral and coasting.
Well it could be in the tranny like a synchro or bearing going out. Good chance if you feel it in the transfer case shifter and not the transmission shifter then its the transfer case or maybe the u-joint in the drive line, perhaps in the differential itself.
You need to crawl under and examine/shake stuff to see if anything is loose/rattles. Take your grease gun with you and put it to work.
