did you ride through any deep watter or mud? if so and you are still running your stock bumpers, the drain hole can clog (primarily on the rear) and hold water in them.

i had the rugged ridge sidesteps and they filled with water and the drain hole was plugged.

There is no "drain" on the AC system!!! The only reason it drips is because of condensation to the outside of the AC system!

I used to have a blazer that had an air pocket trapped in the heater core up under the dash and the cooling system made some weird gurgling/water sounds. Is your cooling overflow tank full? It could also be the windshield fluid tank sloshing around. I would top everything off if it isnt already and see if the sound changes to make sure it isnt one of these things. Hope you figure it out.

It's the mirrors, they are half full of water!
The next rain they will fill the rest of the way up and you won't hear it anymore!

Seriously, check the freedom top panels.

Most likely it will be the freedom top panels. I had that same issue but then found there is a small hole on front of the passenger side panel. It looks like a slight plastic molding flaw but can easily be filled in and solves the issue.
