Default 1999 Durango won't start

This Durango I currently a mudding vehicle so I checked most of the connections. I took it it for a run and when I got home I shut it down, went to move it not even a minute later and all the instruments came on when I turned the key on, radio and that dimmed or shut of when I keyed it but did not even attempt to turn over . No clicking even from the starter . Wanting to kick around some ideas to this and any idea she is due for a new torque converter and tranny work so it will be getting worked on this weekend

Well since your gauges come on, the battery connections should be fine. Maybe something happened to thee starter connection being covered in mud/water?

Load test your battery. This happened to me once. I got home shut it off in front of the shop, decided 5 seconds later to put it inside and same thing happened to me. Battery just died that fast. Check the started connections as well although those are bolted down pretty good.
