I wired in the roof lights, and wasn't sure at first where to go with the switches.. they actually look pretty good.

Just check out some of the write ups on here. All we ask is lots of pics, basic tool used, more pics, and short cuts you may have found, more pics, How much beer said task takes, more pics, You prolly get the picture. Have fun!!!
Oh yeah when posting pics it is alot nicer to use PhotoBucket instead of attaching the images.

Got another question, with the 3.5" lift and 265/75/r16 tires on the factory 16" wheels, will i need to put in some wheel spacers?

I would stay with R15 more of a selection of tires and cheaper also. R16 will hurt your turning radius some. I am not sure on the back spacing

R16 will require less backspacing maybe 3" insted of 3.5" Only guessing on the exact numbers.

Well with all the rain, i didn't get to get the lift on 
but i did end up cleaning the garage a bit and found a set of old Hella 115 lights in a non-opened box! So i mounted them onto the bumper, and did a little playing the mud.

I finally got the rear of the lift almost done.. the brake line when it came to change from the line that runs all the way down from the front, i realized the fitting is rusted completely and the bend got bent a bit more... so since brakes are probably the most important part of the car, im waiting to get a new factory front to rear brake line (gotta be safe if its my DD)
So its gonna be a few more days, but the front was taken apart while im waiting for the line, so when it comes the lift will be done!
Yes its AALs... hopefully in spring it will be time for some full leafs

Then tires will be tight if you aint trimming.
I have 265s on my 98 with 4.5" and they still rub if flexed out good.
When I was at 4" the tires hit the bumper end caps when turning up front and back if of camber at all.
Got a good deal on the XJ though.
