Start it out with something like this....
I bit down on the butt of my cigarette as a cool breeze blew across my face. Through a squinted glaze, I took a deep drag and turned to scrutinize the willing participants. Suddenly, like thunder bouncing off the canyon walls, my postulation was shattered as all heard, "MICHAEL... LETS GO!"

I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...

Ok here goes...
Participants were me, Iulia, Lance, Bryan and Bret. We met at BC Conoco at a little after 12pm. I had to take Badger Canyon out as I can't take BONECRUSHER on the freeway. After some chit chat we headed out and began airing down. After a short drivers meeting were we discussed the need to bring first aid kits we started out. Bryan led the way, followed by Iulia with lance in the middle, then Bret followed by me in the rear. Iulia bypassed the first canyon but met us up top. Bret did great with no lockers and little experience, not having to be winched or tugged at all. Pretty impressive actually. After meeting up with iulia and Christy at the top of the first canyon it was off to the next. This one I was sure iulia was going to bypass as well but after some gentle coaxing she decided to head in. Everyone did great with little to no carnage and I was really proud of how iulia handled herself. Everyone had fun and I'm glad the run happened. Afterwards all of us headed out to meet up with the rest of the club at Juniper for 3-ball.

I'm curious, why can't you take bonecrusher on the freeway?
Nice video, I enjoyed it.
No sway bar, no steering stabalizer and DIY beadlocks make for a dangerous drive above 45MPH
Dump some air soft pellets in the tires, works great at balancing out the tires.

Thats called "death wobble" your geometry is off I imagine, also no steering dampner is not helping matters at all. Think about everything you have removed and you expect it to drive like a limo? Good luck, replace parts, through airsoft bb's in or equal. Then go have fun.

Could be as simple as a loose track bar bolt.
Or as simple as 80 lbs of extra steel boogered to each wheel and uncentered tires on the aforementioned wheels. Naaaaaah, that couldn't be it. A properly set up rig doesn't need a steering stabilizer at all. Find the bad bushing, loose bolt etc then center the tires on the wheels and shove some steel bb's and a splash of antifreeze in there to keep them from rusting and enjoy the drive again.

I just replaced a split bushing on my JKS track bar and used a metric bolt to get a tighter fit on the axle end to solve my recent wobble issue. 70 mph with one finger on the wheel again!

Forgot about that. The wobble is forever.
i have beadlocks, no steering stabilizer and no front sway bar AND no death wobble but everything in my front axle has less than 1000 miles on it.
bottom line, i concur something is loose or broken.
on the other hand if you doubt your wheels dismount the tires and run them on a balancer without tires. see if you can balance them with weights, if so remove them then weld on some permanent steel weights to take the place of the lead ones inside the wheel, should work, right? works on driveshafts.
