ok so when im coming to a coast I hear a whine it souds like a powerwheels car its not as bad in neutral. I can hear it very well at slow speeds, only when moving it runs fine but this noise is worrisome to me. If anyone else has had this issue please let me know and where should i start. This is my first post and my first jeep, but i love it wanted one forever and now i have one dont wanna ruin it

Check the tension on the belt. It should be very tight. At the longest point between two pulleys you should only be able to twist it 90 degrees.
It could be the internals of the alternator. Mine whines sometimes. Like when I turn my roof lights on it strains the alternator pretty bad and it whines slightly.

Gear whine could be from worn, dry, or out of spec unit. Sometimes it's just how they are. Could even be transfer case low on fluid. Have you checked/changed ANY of the fluids yet?
I have determined from this thread that you've driven 1000 miles with your rear brakes as such, so you should be good for another week.

FWIW, I got the gear lube cheaper at Meijers (regional BB store) cheaper than Azone.
Wally world or such might be same. TC, trans, and axles would add up to a little bit of savings. Takes 4 quarts for both axles. I used Valvolene 70-140.
IIRC, it was about .50 per qt cheaper

could the lube have anything to do with the fact that when I turn at slow speed or take off straight there is a vibration almost like a tire rub it goes away if i let off the gas a bit it only does it when straight when i give it a lil more gas than usual, but very noticable when sharp turn left not as bad on right
