Well I appreciate all of the help and I have been digging, no death wobble at all. I have gone all over everything just checking that everything is tight and in good condition so far the only thing I have come up with is ball joints. I brought the front end off of the ground and tried to move the tire around with a pipe.

Also need to go pick up some paint for my rear bumper, some ******* in a Toyota pick up rear ended me on an on ramp and took off without most of his front bumper.
Nice on the Yota's part. Gotta love idiot drivers.
Ball joints aren't too bad. Just rent the press form your local parts store. I would recommend Spicer for replacements. Great quality and not to bad of a cost for all 4. I'd do it soon though. Once they go the vibes the rest of the parts of taking will wear them out quickly.

Well I went over everything a few more times just checking that everything was tight and hitting the grease points, got frustrated and decided to go get a six pack and think it over. And to my surprise on the ride to the store and back no more noise.

Until you're sure don't wheel there. Even there aren't any signs, if it's owned by someone, it's their property and without their consent it is illegal. Check the county maps and records to see who owns the property before wheeling on it, despite what others tell you about it being "public hunting land". Always better to do the work before hand and have the facts.

Courthouse or online (most have been made available). It took me about 2 months to actually track down and get in touch with 3 people (all part of one family) that all had their names on the land title for some trials in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But, after getting in touch with them and asking of I could wheel on their property, they were so grateful that they said I could and anyone with me could as long as we didn't "tear it up" and we wouldn't suffer shotguns being pointed at and fired at our rigs. That was about 4 years ago. Unfortunately other people wheeled on their land because they simply saw a trail opening and figured, "must be legal" when it wasn't and really tore it up. The result: the trail has been blocked off with a locked gate.
ALWAYS make sure it's legal. Any time people wheel illegally it hurts our sport and makes it harder to keep legal lands open.

I think the place may have been a failed attempt on a community with a lot of houses. But most of the roads are either old torn up road or dirt roads. There are a few houses back there. I'll either drive over there there tomorrow or next week sometime to check.
