should still be under manufacturers warrenty see if you can blag a repair.

Handbrake turns in a 4x4 are a no no, at a guess you may have smashed you rear diff?

sounds like you blown the transfer box with putting the handbrake on as handbrake is on rear drums but in 4wd it drives the front through the transfer case therefore the back stops including the prob however if moving the front still turns the prop when it should be turning at the same ratio as the rear.

the chain in the transfer case may have snapped under the strain

warranty may be void but got to try cos its an expensive fix. take it to Suzuki but its either a new transfer chain or transfer box

you must have had a lot of grip though

you shouldn't drive in 4wd unless your not moving as you will damage the drive train as you have now.

also 2wd is rear wheel drive not front

When it is in 4wd all props are turning but only drivers rear wheel spins. How comes this is happening.
