Default Strange Noise Coming from my Jeep

So I have a squealing noise that sounds like two pieces of metal are rubbing up against each other. It sounds to me like its coming from the back half of the car but I could be wrong. I only hear it once my Jeep has heated up and I've been driving it for a while and I only hear it when I come to a complete stop and then I start to accelerate again. It only lasts from about 0-8 mph and then it fades away. I've had this problem for a while now and I've had the the brakes front and rear looked at, the u joints in the driveshafts and both differentials have been opened up and looked at. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a little bit of a humming noise after I had been driving for about an hour or so on the freeway whenever I would drop down in speed and then begin to accelerate again. My jeep has the 4.0 liter engine and the aw4 transmission with a dana 35 rear end. It is all completely stock except for the 235 tires I have on it. Any ideas that you guys might have would be a huge help because I am completely stuck on this one. Thanks in advance for your help.

So here's a question. If the length of the upper arms should be 15"s, stock length, still around 3.5"s of lift and the drive line for the D30 is on point, then why are do my 31s still occasionally rub the flare while in reverse on 3.5-4"s of lift? Can't decide if I should order adjustable uppers and push my RE lowers from a 4.5" kit to the max caster setting (most forward of the slot) or just trim when going to 33s.

So on my 2000 xj my drive shaft took out my after cat o2 sensor plug. It took the plug and wire and insulation for the wires all the way back to the top of the Trans where all the tranny plugs bundle up. Anyone know of a good tuner I can use that might help get rid of the fact I no loger have an 02 sensor?

It's so f-ed up so up into the wirelume I can't even tell what's what. If I could Get a tuner or something to fix it I wasn't gunna worry and try to figure it out. Cause I'm redoing my entire exhaust and if I could eliminate it I wouldn't bother putting a spot back in the exhaust for a new o2 sensor when I'm done building the exhaust.

That's removal of emissions equipment. It's a violation of federal law, a violation of our forum rules, and something your Jeep's PCM won't like.

It's my dd and I just got a new engine for it. It's not a permanent fix. I'm just trying to get by without screwing any of my new stuff up until I get a wiring harness if I can actually find one. If I can I'll put the o2 sensor back in. But if I can't get a wiring harness I'm pretty much hosed

If u are able to crimp on new wiring harness, u are able to make new wiring harness

U also can cut a piece of harness from the junkyard or ask around in the part-outs section in classifieds. Someone would cut whatever length u need and ship it o you.

I think that's the next step. Cause I can't find new ones any where
