Default 4lo problem???

Not sure if Im posting in right spot but oh well...

With our recent rain I found some nice mud to play around in behind our house... Come to find out this was mire of a THICK clay that was really packing itself everywhere... Not good. Anyways at one point I put jeep in 1st and went into 4hi, then to N. My mistake was I pressed the gas and didn't realize I was still in N. I then proceeded to go into 4lo but did it while I still had RPM and then BAAM huge kick. Yes I was in 4lo but it just sounded bad. Jeep ran fine, I got out went back to 2wd and no problems... Should I be worried or no?

It is semi-common, lots of people run into it when trying to get into 4lo. Your users manual has a section with some cautions and/or warnings you can look through, but as long as you aren't hearing noises or getting clunks or anything, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
