I had a B7100 gear hub failure that sounded similar except it only locked up one side:
If it is both sides I would suspect a diff problem. :confused:

Have you shifted it out of 4wd?
Lift the front end off the ground and try to spin each tire.

With it in 2wd lift only one tire off the ground and see what it does.

Diff, ring and pinion (or bearing), or something in transmission is locked up.
Pull the propeller shaft and try the same test.
