Pull your rear brakes apart and inspect it all closely, as for the chirp.....could be just about anything, but id start by putting your hand on the transfer case shift lever and see if it stops, thats a really common squeeky chirpy noise in XJ's

Sounds like something might have came loose inside the drum.
