I've never had good luck selling used tires where I live. I need to save up for them anyways, so it's not like I can order new ones tomorrow.

Sounds like all 4 of your tires are already accounted for anyways between yourself and @lowranger
You could always start a Go Fund Me. LOL! Want me to help you right a sob story?
I'm going to Moab in the Spring to hang out with my Jeep buddies and wheel the great mystique but my tires are almost bald. I had to buy seat warmers because Jeeps are cold with the top down and a new Jeep Trail Rated badge because mine broke off when I was wheelin last week during my month long vacation. So I'm out of money and really need tires bad for this trip....please help...to be continued...
I tend to hang on to things much longer than a normal sane person would.
In an effort to keep the ole rig looking sharp, it was time to clean up the faded flares, so some SEM trim black to the rescue.

Read a thread somewhere where a guy used a magic erasure to clean up his hard top, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I would not go more pre-load on used bearings. I would pull the wheels, drums or calipers, take a measurement, pull the yoke, install new seal, new yoke, new nut with red loctite, and torque as close to the same pre-load as you can. Dip the back side of the nut in some gear oil prior to install. It will provide less resistance against the washer making it easier to get the correct pre-load.
The other, and best, option, is to pull the axles, cover, and carrier to obtain a more accurate measurement.
Brah! Save the coin and come by my place. I am tied up weekends until Feb but am good afterwards. The 16th I am doing Toms gear swap, so anything afterwards or the Sat before would work. It will cost you a nice 6 pack, howeverHmmm, sounds like I could be opening up a can of worms here. Now I'm nervous! Maybe I should wait. Still considering taking it to Hunter 4x4 in Citrus Heights and have them check the rear end. Maybe I'll just have them do it.

No new developments on the vibration?
The latest round of TC skid swapping, and Tom Woods massaging of the front DS did net some improvement. Still have that lovely harmonic wave at 50-60mph. Then again at 65+. If I drive at 62-63mph it almost feels normal. Glad I have a good stereo. I can drown out a lot of it with some FFDP.
Well, long term there's always the V8 swap. That should solve it
It would be cheaper to sell the jeep and buy another unmolested one, lol!
You're right, but where's the fun in that
