Default Weird Vibration

My 96 jeep gets a weird vibration between 35-45 MPH. Only happens when I have it in gear, if I push the clutch in or put it in neutral it stops. It's done this in the past and then would go away but this time it seems to be worse. I'm selling it friday and would like to get it fixed before I sell it. (Don't wanna give my problem to somone else)

Did you check the wheel barings? It might be that.

Why would it be wheel bearings?

I had to replace my right wheel baring cause I had a vibrating noise. Once I replaced it, the humming went away.
