i recently got a rattle on my jeep, it started as a small vibration/rattle that i could hear and feel under the floor. it would only rattle or vibrate when i hit bumps on the road but has now developed into almost constantly doing it. that makes me think something is coming looser. if it is the commone torque converter problem how would i check it and fix it. any help is appreciated.

I doubt it the torqe converter but to check just pull the lower dust cover off and spin the flywheel around gently with a prybar and see it their loose or not might just be the dust cover ratteling loose aswell

I hear torque converter bolts coming loose are quite common.

Have a look at the exhaust piping. Might be as simple as a broken mount, such as the one at the front of the bellhousing.

Check, in roughly this order:
Exhaust Hangers and Mounts
Crossmember Screws
Inspection Plate (bottom of bellhousing)
Exhaust Collector Stud Nuts (manifold to pipe)
Torque Converter to Flexplate screws
Check Flexplate for Cracks near Crankshaft Hub (I've posted how to do this a couple times...)
