Re: '03 Jeep Wrangler Vibration
An out of balance tire usually makes itself known about that speed....
I would rotate the tires to see if it changes and while doing that I
would hand spin the tires to see if one has gone out of round or has an
'S' wiggle that indicates a bent rim or broken belt.

Re: '03 Jeep Wrangler Vibration
When was the last time the tires were balanced and rotated?

If you feel it in the gas pedal it could be the front drive shaft is
not balance or the u-joint is not good. Best way to test it is to
remove the front drive shaft and drive around. You can have the dealer
do this, it should be covered.
