Default Shaking it up

After an awesome night taking advantage of the Virginia rains, I headed home. The JK was covered head to toe in thick mud and I was proud of her. We followed a Ram 2500 with a 4" lift and 35 boggers, went everywhere they did and mine is stock! The Goodyear SRA's continue to impress me. Then, I get on the interstate and at around 60 mph it starts to shake. I get really scared that I broke something. Come to find out after washing alot of mud from the inside of my rims, the shake went away. The moral of the story is, mud has enough weight to throw the balance off on your tires. If its shaking save yourself a trip to the dealer and check the inside of your rims. Hope this tip helps some of you out.

I used to sell cars. The first ever vehicle that I delivered called me ten minutes after taking delivery saying that there was an awful vibration and it was giving them a headache. As soon as they cam back we put it on a hoist and found a huge clump of mud on the inside of the rear wheel. It got hosed off and was instantly fine.

Turned out that the car was brought in on a trailer as a dealer trade. It was parked way out in the back field of the dealer because of a construction project. The dealer trade guy failed to inform me that it took them twenty minutes to get it unstuck.
