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!

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.
