You didn't ad a lot of info, like auto or std trans, 4x4 or 2wh, but you might start with checking the U joints and if you have one, the slip joint.

check u joints, brakes, slip joint, cv, jack up the back spin the back wheels see if it will duplicate under manual spin, then front etc. try to phisically locate the noise without driving it...

With that many miles, it could be so many things. I'd check the tranny, sounds like a torque converter could be going out.
