Default Transmission better now this!

Howdy all, I had posted originally under the heading of "FUBARRED".
Thanks for the replies and advice. Got pressure transducer,governor solenoid and governor housing base gasket from CASCADE and installed along with a fresh transmission filter. No codes and the Cherokee is drivable( shifts slow, but it does get into all the gears) and will do highway speeds.
While I was waiting for the spirit to move me on replacing the CamPS ( I had seriously misread the repair manual and was thinking I HAD to have it "zeroed" in after replacing it )the Missus located a set of 5 takeoffs with about 300 miles on them from a new Jeep, 16" Wranglers on factory steelies.
This afternoon I drove the Cherokee to put it to the test and DANG IT!!!
I gots da wobbles!!!!, starting in around 50mph and got worse as I went. Slowed down and started up to speed and it was gone. Went to head back to the house and this time it started around 40 and got so bad bad I thought I was going to lose a wheel or something.
Can sitting cause this?
Seriously, the Jeep wasn't doing this before.

I thank you for letting me vent and I'll get a look at the front end and see what I can find.

Start simple, tire pressures, lug nuts, loose components axles/steering/shocks. If culprit not found you should at least have narrowed it down, also don't forget wheel balance.

Check your Wrangler tires and wheels for broken cords, bent rims, and flat spots from sitting parked a long time. To be sure, spin them on a balancer and check for wobble and out-of-round.

Thanks guys, Tire pressures were low and the tires that I replaced were high mileage Michelin.
