Actually, if you need pads, the pads themselves are not what is pricey. It's what a shop charges you for the labor. Fortunately, you have 4wheel discs, and disc brakes are not that hard to change yourself...even with little mechanical knowledge and just a few tools. Google brake pads for your Jeep and for prices and Google "replacing disc brake pads instructions" to see what it takes to do it.

Rear brake pads from OReilly's Auto parts were 30 something, frts were 70 something. Your rears are probably the ones squeaking.
