I'm imagining the metallic copper falls into pretty expensive? Lol
What color was yours? And honestly, I don't know how much paint I would need to spray whole xj. Was two quarts enough? I'm in beginning stages of research. Lol. I wanna get the tools to spray right. I see many paint jobs in my future.

Ah. So probably around $300 in paint for whole jeep. Maybe 250 if I do under hood, etc black. Lol
That's not too bad. I'll have to Google around...

That's patriot blue right?
My lady likes blue, and I'd like that but I want something less subtle for the off roader. She prolly wouldn't go for that copper anyways... damn.

I have been looking at a Jasper Reman 4.0L on cl for $600, 20,000 miles on it from a '92. Mine has been smoking for years and would like to replace it soon. Is this worth it? Anyone have any experience with Jasper? Would there be any issues putting this in my '94?

Here are my original questions that go along with the diagram...
I知 planning to install 4 pairs of off-road lights on my roof rack (2 forward, 2 rear, 2 left, 2 right) and switch each pair separately with 4 switches I plan to install in the overhead console. I also plan to feed those 4 switches from a keyed safety switch to prevent accidentally turning the lights on. I知 no electrician, but I have a fair grasp of the concepts involved (I think) and have drawn up a wiring diagram of what I think it will take to get it done. I would have inserted/attached it here but I couldn稚 figure out how (forgot to mention I知 a complete noob to threads).
What I知 hoping is that there is someone out there who knows automotive electrical and would be willing to take a look at my diagram and let me know if it will work, safely, and as intended. If you can help, please let me know and I値l email you the diagram.
In the meantime I知 also looking for answers to the following related questions:
What fuse (and how) would you tap into to get "always on" power to new switches (power even when ignition is off)?
What fuse (and how) would you tap into to get "accessory" power new switches (power only when ignition is on)?
What fuse (and how) would you tap into to get power to new switches only when headlights and/or parking lights are on?
Is it possible to add 4 relays & 4 fuses inside the factory Power Distribution Center under the hood? And if so; how would it be done?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
BTW - My Jeep is a 94 Cherokee SE 2 door, 4.0, automatic, 4WD (I don't know if any of that is needed information for my questions, but thought I would throw it out there just in case.)
Thanks

ok this is a stupid question but just want to make sure. i installed my 4.5 lift today and the front axle sits towards the firewall a bit. i assume the alignment will fix that? just the caster adjustment right?
