Replaced the front wheel bearing, no wiggle now!!! 
Pulled the rear driveshaft out and need to buy some U-joints tomorrow.
With any luck I may be ready for the weekend, not sure yet.

Wobble,
My Jeeps fits just right, Collie had the light bar sticking up on hers and her rig is a little taller than mine to boot.
I still have an inch or so of roof clearance, enough to get 36's on it.

Dave,
I'm not ruling out a U-joint and it could be the bad one making the squeaking noise. It's hard to tell where the squeak is coming from. However, When I grab the front tire I can wiggle it a bit, the other side is nice and tight. The bearing does not sound real rough but it's a Little different from the other side.
I have replaced both front wheel bearings on Michael's XJ, they were very bad, I know what that sounds like.
As far as the U-joint that's bad..it's bad! I believe one cup is fresh out of needle bearings and the joint flops a little when moving the rear driveshaft....It did not do that the other day.
It's a matter of finding some time to fix it up now.
BTW...Unless I get her fixed up I won't be wheeling on the 26th.

"FOUND IT" or them!!!!
I have a front passenger side wheel bearing going out (squeak) and one of the U-joints (vibration) in the rear at the double cardigan finally showed itself.

Thanks Dave, I have to get some time under the thing.
I assume I can still wheel on the 26th, what do you think?
I can work on it all week after that.

I do have a SYE in the rear, did that a few years ago preparing for the new lift.
I have a little squeak now and then and must have a U-joint taking a crap on me someplace.
I put the thing up on jack stands and wiggled and wobbled and shook and turned wheels and I can't tell nothin! Everything is a tight as a Nuns whatever.
I'm just gonna have to wait and see what falls out and then fix it. It came on real sudden and has changed characteristics since it started yesterday.
Yours Truly,
Dazed and confused.

Took it out again.
At 25 MPH it starts under normal acceleration, it stops when I get off the gas. It only vibrates when on the gas, even if it's slight pedal.
Nothing when I start out, nothing when coasting.

Hi All,
On the way home from our club meeting my rig started a very noticeable vibration.
Accelerating some vibration. Slowing no vibration
Cruising at 30-40 MPH most noticeable vibration almost like driving on small rumble strips.
No clunking noises when starting or stopping.
Any ideas??

Un-spooled the new winch cable and winch pulled the Jeep up through the yard. The winch and I are both ready to go.
I purchased a 4" x 8' tree saver strap....it's a little wide....but it won't break pulling anything we own. I got your tree hugger...right here.

Very very nice Colli. I'm not sure about the economy but that winch has me going.
I'll have to speak with you on some recovery equipment for that winch.
Your winch is even bigger than mine.
I quit!

I have four 33x10.50 BFG muds on wheels for $100, they will probably pass inspection. They have about 20 to 25% tread.

Jack, My Jeep can turn around. Besides, that why I have tow points in the rear.
Ted, Good to go on trail 13.
Jenn, I have guided some rides this year....and I may take one or two out next year too. Although the Jeeps getting too nice to get dirty.
Almost forgot.....I installed the hi-lift mount and the hi-lift on the rear bumper, added the Rokmen frame tie-ins and test drove it to the Beer Distributor.
After Scott G. suggested the tie-ins I checked them out, they are some heavy pieces of metal...I had to have them. They are much beefier than what comes with the bumper!
