Problems coming from under...
It sounds like a u joint is making a weird popping noise attached to the drivelme or something, but I don't know. Can someone help? I have a 88 Cherokee 4x4.

No, I don't lick fish.
Simple u-joint check is to chock your front wheels, jack up the rear (only one side if open-diff), put your tranny in neutral and rotate your driveshaft by hand while watching the u-joint.... you'll be able to see it if it's bad and if it's popping, you'll definitely be able to tell at that point.
