Default Massive interior vibration when coming to a full stop.

When I drop into neutral and come to a complete stop I get these massive vibrations from all over the dashboard area. I have a cb mounted above the rearview mirror and I think the plastic might be rubbing against the windshield a little for one but that's not the only problem. I hear it coming from the center console but can't figure out where exactly. It's super aggravating and i'm wondering why I'm evening getting these vibrations...alignment messed up?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks dudes

Possiblities:

tires are cupped
alignment - but you should feel the pull driving
warped rotors - felt in the foot brake mostly
Something fell behind your dash
Body mounts are toast - doubtful for a young JK

I had a vibration after wheeling on a rocky trail. Found out my slid plate was pushed up into my exhaust and they were touching, causing the vibration. Bent the skidplate back down and the vibration stopped. (I have aftermarket skid plates and it got pushed up at the weakest point, under the exhaust next to the transfer case. There is no extra room to reinforce that area, but the skid plate barely moved an inch at the front.)

I do feel a small pull and I know for a fact pens and all this crap has fallen behind my dash. How hard is it to get in there and remove all the junk?

Not easy and time consuming.

I get this even if the tires are rotated regularly with MT tires. One way to check this is if you are rolling at a very slow speed (without the brakes on) you can feel the individual lugs hitting the road. (I hope that made sense)
