Stoked... Might be getting a 97 Limited this week.

So I've been trolling craigslist for a while now, and this week I came across this little beaut.

1997 Limited with e-locker (seems to work) and a solid frame and 186,000 miles. Runs well, looks decent apart from the rear bumper (guess I'll be making a bumper for it) which has rusted out. Seems well cared for.
The only issues are the A/C which is not working and a weird wheel wobble.
It's not like a balance issue, it's not the fast vibration, it's more like a wobble, and doesn't *seem* (although its hard to tell) to increase with speed. I'll probably do ball joints as soon as I get it, but it sounds more like a steering problem (tie rod or maybe the rack). The tires are also old and pretty rotted, so it might be a slipped belt or something. Any thoughts?

Steering wobble is normal with aging 4Runner. Be ready to replace a whole lot of parts...

Make sure it's not the tires first. Balancing is fairly cheap.
