Check your tie rod, it might be bent and that will cause a wobble at speed. That's if it's a wobble, if it's a bad vibration then it could be your drive shaft or wheels being out of balance do to wheel weights missing.

Good times today boys! Nice running with the big dogs...
Quick diagnostic from you all - driveshaft boot is shredded, took the rest of rubber off. Shaft looks dented and definitely banged up. Jeep is rattling like CRAZY above 50mph. Broken driveshaft? Possible other problems? Regardless, WORTH IT.

psh. the mall was thwarted by some chrome and street tires. YAWN
Just kidding, had a blast. Thats for all the kick ass spotting, made the day painless, and even the missus had fun. Climbing out of that hill was a rush! Now to decide how long I can stand not having a steering stabilizer. And serious question, I have 3.73s, with the Dana 30 in the front. Ignoring the cost of rubbers, what would it take/cost to get my jeep to the very minimum needed to run 37s? My wife is now insisting the 35s look too small.....
Sorry Judd

hey thats ok 37 will be happening soon enough.
as for the stabilizer, while you dont need it to drive, it does help save things like your ball joints and steering box my absorbing allot of the abuse from bumps in the road etc

lame, looks like that roof braketing I broke is gonna cost 80 bucks to replace. Stupid channel screw costs 20 bucks by itself. Well, the screw didnt break so maybe I won't replace that one....
also I'll post some pics/videos at some point this weekend

Feeling bad that Jay and I couldn't get to Tom's today. Our club run went long - had to clear numerous brush out of trail - and din't get out of RI until after 5:30. Glad you all had a blast today and looking forward to getting in on Tom's next outing.
