Did some more poking around and I think I finally found the culprit causing my wobble that occurs in the 40-50mph range....ordered a new steering box brace from Creepy Fabrication and should have it next week. I have the B. Lee Offroad bumper which has the outer tie-ins so I should be good there. I'm surprised I didn't notice the broken brace when I installed the bumper.

Picked the '99 up from the shop. Cooling system flush, new OE HD radiator, hoses and water pump. Should be good for another 16 years.
Went back to pick up the '95 and had a puckering drive home after the water on the roads had frozen and been polished to a high gloss by rush hour traffic. The back end just didn't want to stay in the back.

finally installed the 31's I picked up 2 weeks ago, no pics cause we all know what 31's on a 2" lift look like. Surprisingly no rub on aftermarket LCA's at full lock.

Control arm rub is due to wheel bs, I see you don't have factory wheels so you probably have the correct bs.

hey does that happen at higher speeds or lower speeds or just a 40 and 50
I think mine is doing it too, I did however put 31x11.5x15 TSL Thorn Birds on last year And the Wobless reduced for some reason.but it's been far too cold to even get up underneath the Jeep at - 15 and 20 that's where i draw the line.

I went from having most of my exterior and interior lights not working to having them all working as intended (almost) by rewiring much of it over the last week. I am still waiting on the switch panel to be delivered so I can get it wired in and then reassemble virtually all of the interior trim.
So much frickin work.....for simple lights...
It will all be for the better though...with outlets for accessories and driving lights and other accessories...all properly switched! (..and getting rid of some of the cheesy OEM fixtures. 25+ y/o plastic breaks just by looking at it...)

Scored a set of five-hole alloys with some bonus 30x9.50 BFG-ATs with about 20k or so left on them. All four rebalanced with no issues and they don't even rub at full lock. Not a bad afternoons work.

Mine only does it between 40 and 50. I do have some bumpsteer as well.
