Sounds like worn motor mounts and a very rough cold idle.

if the shaking is moderate then I would check your engine mounts....odds are that its just the engines power....if you have the 4.0 I6....its a pretty strong engine and i notice a little jiggle at idle. It may "feel" like its gone but you may have just gotten used to it. Engine balance may help more but its probably nothing to worry about...check anyway, better safe than sorry.
