By the way, the recall is because a study found that having the gas tank behind the rear axle in vehicles at our height was deemed to be a hazard as it increases the risk of explosion in rear-end collisions. The study was conducted on other vehicles, and ChryCo has no data that suggests it applies to ours in particular.
If it's dry, no.

While offroading, my transmission/transfer case started acting kinda weird, making grinding and knocking noises (I was switching from 2wd / 4hi most of the time, I can recall a couple weeks ago when trying to go in 4lo I got grinding noises aswell). I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary and when I was back on the road, I didn't have any issues (and while still offroading after that, no real issues).
I was simply wondering if I should expect stuff like that while mudding/offroading or if I should worry and check that?
