If it's not taken care of you'll do more damage . Plan on spending some money , twice as much cause it's a 4 wheel drive . So many things could be wrong and if not wrong they should be replaced from the vibration .
Initial thought is loose lug nuts, or a warped rotor, although a bad caliper can be at fault for that. As brakes rub the rotors they create heat and excessive heat can warp the rotor. Aside from that it could also be in the steering (tie rods/sway bar)
