Default Wobbling

took my jeep into a field last night and it was drifted over and pretty deep. Started to get stuck so I put it in 4lo as 4hi was not doing anything. Reversed in 4lo to get out then shifted out of 4lo and into 4hi when I got on top of the snow drove the jeep back into my driveway where it sat all day today until tonight when I went to get gas and the steering wheel is wobbling once I get to 40-45 It never did this before until my fiasco last night. Any input is greatly appreciated

Check your wheels for snow or ice build up. It will sometimes cause what you're describing

There is snow and ice built up for sure. The wheels I have are rugged ridge with the fake bead locks and have snow in them

As stated above.....making sure to look at the inside of the wheels, too.

I did the same thing my first time. Get that crap out before it throws something else off.
