I got a nasty vibration from 65mph - 80mph. I've exhausted all options I know to fix it myself and have to take her in.

ANybody know a reputable Jeep shop (not dealer) to go to in Los Angeles? The Jeep Doctor is closed for good.

I went back to the shop and we deduced the rear u-joints have play that would cause a smaller vibration. After this, all u joints will have been replaced with heavy duty greasable ones and there should be no vibe. I'll get it back tomorrow.

Jeep is no longer vibrating. There's a tiny vibration still, but it seems normal and that it could just be all the bushing that are showing their age and allowing the steering to move around (I have a good amount of play in the steering wheel on the street) and the fact that it's 13 years old...
