Btw, Michelin defender tires are NOT meant for alltime4wd off road!
Fellas, the OP says "very noticeable vibration in cabin at low idle in drive.

What the heck would the tire and wheel combo have to do with an idle in drive NOT MOVING issue?
OP:
Heat Shields - check them all!
Exhaust - possible loose or missing hanger
Motor Mounts - possible one or both are in need of replacement
Transmission mount - possibly worn and in need of replacement
What preventative maintenance have you performed on the Throttle body/plugs/wires/etc?
How many miles?

Check your exhaust heat shields. There are stainless steel straps at several points along the exhaust that hold the heat shields in place and those straps eventually fail. The shields up by the CO2 sensors are also spot welded to the top of the exhaust just forward of the O2 sensor. That weld can fail and set up a nice vibration also. Sounds like a buzzing noise. Mine resonated around 1500 rpm. There’s another shield near the Y toward the back of the transfer case, and then one at the back where the exhaust goes up over the rear axle. Check them all! I found that tapping on exhaust components along the length of the system with a rubber mallet could replicate the buzzing, which helped me identify and isolate the broken spot welds.
Mine is now “fixed” with stainless steel hose clamps from NAPA, but O’Reilly has the same part for 1/2 the price. Hummerz will say it’s Jury Rigged. Lolz.
