Guys, I need a help...

When I go out in the first or second gear, sometimes the car makes a small noise like metal friction or something skidding or creaking...

The noise maybe come from the back...My 4x4 is off, without the drive shaft, so there is no chance about the velocity joint...

You guys have some idea?

Perhaps the brake caliper...
 






Not much to go on, here. It could be any number of things from your description. But, I'd certainly start by checking the brakes/calipers. Easy enough to do. Don't forget to check the emergency brakes, too. When it starts making a noise, throw it into neutral while it's rolling and determine if the noise persists. That might help narrow your search.
