steering wheel front end shake

just got home from mudding, where i got stuck and had to get pulled out twice. the second time needed a bit more yank then i was free. when i got on the road, the steering wheel shakes about an inch or so then getting up to speed maybe 45 or 50, the whole front end started to shake, under that speed its just the steering wheel. i stopped and hand checked the tie rods idler arm and everything else even the wheel lugs for looseness and everything felt tight. in the morning i am going to clean things up and thoroughly check and clean the hubs front brakes and the rest. im looking for some input on what it could be and if anyone had this happen. thanks

You most likely have mud built up around in your wheels making them unbalanced.
