Loud click but runs fine

Went wheeling this weekend and had a blast, but it was the last time i was going through the one hole and wanted to see if I could make it in 2wd and make a lot of mud fly. After I got to the end and started going on the road again, there was this loud clicking noise almost like a baseball card in bike spokes. I got out to see if there was a stick stuck somewhere or anything and didn't see anything. Heres what it does:

-Not very present til about 10mph
-has about 3 different speeds that don't change with the gear or engine
-clicks the same speed anywhere from 30mph-70mph
-slows down when I slow down
-happens when foot is on the gas and coasting
-sounds like its coming from under the shifter or behind radio in center

I drove it for 300 miles to get home and didn't go away or get any worse, Let me know what I can check out before taking it somewhere.
