There is a TSB posted for that noise under your right foot by Jeep.

It has something to do with the transfer case linkage being connected to the
body right there at your foot. There is a kit to correct this and better
isolate the clunking noise. As far as your shifting goes, check your tranny
mount for breakage or slop causing movement of the whole drivetrain. Check
tranny fluid as well. You may have several issues in concert.

Thank you for that TSB! I am so tired of the noise, I'm calling the
dealer tomorrow.
As for the shifting, today my clutch is totally limp. I'm not a
mechanic at all. I have not seen any leaking from my jeep since I got
it new. I always check. I had to drive home from work all the way in
second gear. Couldn't shift. Luckily those 3.73 gears can help the
jeep take off from a stop!
