Default "Ticking" noise, video inside. Also, pics of me stuck.

So, against my better judgement, I decided to take my jeep "mudding". It was more same water but a blast none the less. Since then my Jeep has picked up a tick, and it just won't go away. Can anyone give me ideas of what it is so I can fix it? I need to clean the engine still, I plan on spraying down the engine and parking it over the sprinkler which will hopefully get most of the dirt off.

Pics of me stuck because I'm a knucklehead.

Well the video can wait, but it sounds a lot like this.

Did you even check to see how deep that hole was first? And you at the minimum need better tires before doing a knucklehead stuntblike that again. Regarding the tick, which part of the jeep is it coming from? And in regards to washing it, you need to be careful. Too much pressure with the water and you could push water into electrical and other components that are not suppose to get water. Also, make sure the engine is completely cooled down otherwise you may damage you exhaust manifolds

Auto or Man? It doesn't sound quite like mine but my clutch ticks while tranny is in neutral and stops when I push the clutch in. I think a plate is getting stuck or something?

We did check, it wasn't much more deep than what you see, but I didn't have momentum going in so I bogged down. It's coming from what sounds like the top or front of the engine, I haven't narrowed it down past that yet though. I know what normal belt noise is, so I can disregard that. Someone recommended a pressure washer, and I looked att them funny haha. Didn't know about cooling it down, I'll give it. Minute after I make a beer run, I've gotta crawl under it amd return my steering wheel to top dead center.

Sounds like a bad throw out bearing.
