Default Should I check my flexplate bolts anyway?

I have a ticking ish noise and I'm pretty sure its just the 230,000 miles on the jeep taking its toll. But from reading around it seems a lot of the higher mileage Jeeps have their flex plate bolts come loose. So should I just check and pull each one regardless and red lock title them?

Go with your gut, if you feel like you should check them, by all means check them.
