yup, a bent cross member will definitely throw a vibe. is yours bent?

you could always remove the rear drive shaft and stuff a large to-go coffee cup on the end of the t-case and take it for a spin to see if the vibe goes away. (you'll need it in 4hi for this).

have your tires been balanced? do you have a bent rim? mud/ice stuck in the rim?

start by changing out that cross member. being bent is changing the rear drive shaft angle. this can give you mad vibes.
