Hello Alex and welcome to the forum! 
It sounds to me that you have no drive to the rear wheels. The problem may be in the transfer box, but I'm thinking more likely it's the diff or snapped ½-shaft. Put it in 2wd, either D or R and get someone to check if the rear prop-shaft is turning when you pick the revs up a little. If it is, then it's either diff or ½-shafts, if not then it's transfer box.
Hope this helps to find your problem.
