Hello everyone. I have a 2001 Jeep TJ. When cold, it doesn't make any noise. When its warm (like 5 miles driving) I start to hear a rubbing noise when in first gear and turning. For example, backing in, pulling into a parking spot, etc. I recorded it twice. Once during day and once at night. Time of day has nothing to do with it (haha), but I do have 2 videos. Not much to "see" in the video as it is a noise. I feel like it is coming from the rear. Any thoughts?
 
Sounds like your spider gears in your differential. Pull the diff cover and inspect. Post some pics.
