First. It's called to be a misfire.

It will be either one of these or a component of these.
Injectors
Spark plugs
Wires
Coilpacks if equipped
Cap
Rotor
Fuel filter.

Check your motor mounts, they tend to fail in our cars. I know mine have failed twice, looking for a more resilient set myself.

A jeep is not a car.
And this isn't mount related. It's a misfire.

Start with a complete tune up. Cap, rotor, wires, and plugs.
