After replacing my sunroofs and watching them for about a month for leaks I decided it was safe to reinstall my headliner. Added a third dome light to the cargo area as well while i was at it.

Default Center Hand brake drum

Today I lifted both rear wheels and turned it by hand.
There is no back lash on the diff and Prop shaft U-Joints is solid.
It seems to me that there is a slight "wobble" on the hand brake drum
Is it possible that the drum can go out of balance?
Can it be balanced? or better to replace?

I made sure that the p/shaft "Boss" is well centered in the drum
I have installed a new Flange on the transfer rear output.
The rear wheel bearings was a bit loose to my liking and pulled that up a bit.
I have redone the whole drive train from front to rear and still has got a slight vibration.
What to do next?

Not a fan of the safari snorkels. Always like the lower profile of mantecs but this fits the bill just as well!

Nice snorkel. Is it the Southdown?

How'd that work out for ya!? LOL.
I tried to bug Will whenche sent me non-AEL parts when I clearly stated AEL. In the end I chose to preserve my sanity and give up than to keep after him.
