Default motor knocks

Wondering if anyone knew why it sounds like my motor knocks when I turn the ignition off. It doesn't make a knocking noise at all while driving just when I kill the motor and it makes a loud knocking noise. Motor mounts gone bad? I only have 83,000 on it so im kinda confused on the reasoning.

Sounds like you have something loose in the engine bay. I say it's not engine related only because you say it doesn't happen when it is running , at all. Pop the hood. Have somebody start and shut off the Jeep a few times while you look closely for anything that could be causing your noise. Look from the top and the bottom if necessary.
