From: Where Ever the Corps puts me
I'm a Nubie and not a mechanic. But my jeep was doing fine until I get to the bridge before MCBH. Now it sounds like a drag race car and idle goes up and down. If I press on the gas it lags before the build up. If I don't press gas it will idle ruff and die.

I don't have sound at work to watch your video but from your description this could be a number of things. It could be a dirty or bad MAF (Mass AirFlow Sensor). It could be a bad spark plug or coil. not 100% sure if the 3.8 has them, but a throttle body sensor could be bad, or you could have a dirty or clogged fuel injector.
How many miles on it? whens the last time it had a service?

Depending on how much gas, you could have a rich condition where unburnt fuel is making its way back into the intake. This would lead me down the road of checking / replacing you spark plugs and your coil packs.
