idk man I took it to a mechanic shop and he said it was all good but there is transmission fluid all over the frame and all of that. Like it's literally everywhere. But he said its from where I spilled some when I was trying to pour it without a funnel Bc I didn't have one at first but while he was checking it, it was still dripping and it's been 3 days since I had poured it so idk how it would have been still dripping

The drive shafts on these trucks are so weak and flimsy, if you look at yours, it will have a big white sticker on it that says "SCRAP IF DROPPED". They get knocked off balance very easily.

Another thought, consider pulling off your rear tires and rotors and checking / pressure washing the parking brake.
Welcome to the destructive world of muddling. If I could show you the "damage" i did to my 2006 cherokee after a night of mudding... you would find bricks in your pants my friend.
Rule of thumb... no matter if you have issues after mudding or not.
Grease everything
Check fluids
Use the "super bays" at car washes and spray the poop out of everything (while avoiding electrical components)
Check steering/suspension components.
Hope this helps.
