First guess is your serpentine belt (aka., fan belt). If they get a little loose, they will squeal.

More info, from you, is needed.

1. Does the squealing stop after a bit?

2. If you turn on the A/C (or defroster), can you cause it to squeal?

3. Did you have any recent work done on your TJ?

Water pump or fan clutch. Check fan for excessive play.
