after coming back from an extensive offroad/onroad trip down the baja for two months..there is a vibration problem...it started gradually then got worse..i thought it might have been the tires being out of balance (some weights were lost on the tires) but i got them balanced twice and the problem is now just a slight vibration, but sometimes it does vibrate way to rough!..could something be possibly bent? tires look to be pretty even..is there a way to adjust the camber on the wheels? any input would be greatly appreciated..thanks all

dirt stuck to back side of wheels?
no camber adjustment. check drive shaft for play in u-joint and for cracks in rotoflex
hope i helped

Check the tie rod behind the front axle, could be bent causing a change in toe-out.
Also check all rubber bushings, one could have worn out.
Another thing, check swivel pin bearing preload, can cause inconsistent vibrations.
