Which tire are they? I know when I used to have BFG KM2 that when I hit about 30 accelerating or when I almost came to a stop while slowing down the vibrations from the tires would cause all sorts of rattles

Km1's

I just think over the years shit just needs tightening? Is that crazy to think that? Maybe loose exhaust? Someone said rear breaks?

My stock BFG's have always caused some rumble or vibration from 5-0. I can tell when they need rotating because the front lugs will get a little chopped and make the sensation more pronounced, especially on a turn.

I wonder if changing your tire pressure or rotating the tires to see if it changes the vibration would help.

I have put mine on jack stands with the T-case in nuetral just out of paranioa, turning the wheels over to see if the diffs were smooth, checking bolts, trying to find anything else wrong. Check the driveshaft, is it throwing grease?

Of course, the stresses mine goes through could have the whole frame twisted, lol.
