if bleeding doesn't work, I'd bet on the hose collapsing. If you have one, use an infrared thermometer the next time it's pulling for a bit. I bet you'll see a large difference in heat between the two front brake sets.
What did you do to your jeep today?

is your caliper stuck??
Caliper doesn't seem to be stuck. It lets go when I release the brake and drives normal. I was thinking maybe the brake lines could be a possibility. I just replaced all the hardware and greased them up good a few weeks ago hoping that was the problem. I am wondering if the brakes might be causing the vibration? Maybe they aren't releasing all the way.
Jack it up and spin the wheels. One bent maybe? While it's up, hit the brakes hard, and see if they spin easily afterwards. Hoses collapse inside sometimes, and don't let fluid release. It will roll, but be dragging.

Drove my Jeep for the first time in almost 2 months since the accident, Rear end has been repaired and ****** has been fixed by the mechanical shop, Feels strange to go from a brand new rental truck back to the Jeep, Now I should have my new to me Nissan Titan back from the shop this weekend as long as the new rear diff is on schedule.
Crawled around the front end on my lunch break and froze my butt off but I did find a bulge in the left front brake line that looks like the size of a pea. Looks like I will be replacing brake lines this weekend. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Glad you found a likely culprit. And too bad about the freezing - at least May is right around the corner. 
It's 41F in the rain here. Just before nightfall yesterday, the cold front clouds were so black, I was expecting a lightning storm. They are calling for risk of one here later this afternoon.
I'm hoping it will be better on Saturday, as I really need to sort out the cargo area.
It is a mess, and have to figure out what to get rid of. Also need to check the spare tire pressure, have not done that in quite a while.

Trying to determine where to install this at now :shrug:

You'll just have to drill those two bolt holes in the bumper
Replaced the front brake lines yesterday hoping it helps with the pulling left during braking. Trimmed the front plastic off in the front wheel wells to quiet the tire rubbing. Helped a little but didn't get rid of it completely.

Well yesterday. Tire rotation drained and filled my transmission for the second time. Replaced my transmission skid plate. Replaced my idle air control valve.
What was wrong with the IAC that you had to replace it?
Cleaning did not work?

It was working but even after cleaning, it was nasty. Decided to just replace and hold onto the old one. That carbon just doesn't come off easy!

Changed serpentine belt and idler assembly(at 136,000kms)on the 06 Renegade.
Sounded like a chick-a-dee under the hood.

Finally reinstalled my clutch fan that was off since last spring when I did the HGs. Not sure but I think my efan may be on it's way out. Was going to install a brand new fan I've had for a while but realized the shroud hardware was completely rusted. Ordered new shroud. Oil fill tube is still spotless since switching oil quality.

Found an aluminum skid plate on Craigslist that was made for another vehicle, but after some trimming and a few drilled holes...a nice inexpensive skid plate that bridges the gap between the bumper and the front skid plate.
Next week is the front & rear 4.56 re-gear and rear locker. Was initially going to go with the 4.10's to get close to "stock", but with the 255/75/17's, I am wanting a little more "torque" for 4LO and towing the overland trailer up and down the mountains.
