Jeep: ready to mount glass body

ready to mount glass body
Hey Jeeprs,
I'm now ready to mount a fiberglass body on an '86 CJ.
I've read the book, I've seen the movie...now all I gotta find out are the
last minute secrets yooz guys (and gals) know of this kinda project.
For example; draping the rear wiring over the gas tank prior to mounting
the body would make sense rather than fish it twixt the tank and crossmember
later,
and, making all dash accessory mounts on the bench where the lighting is
better)
but I need to know critical mistakes to avoid. Can I *share* a ground wire
between the tail lights, license plate light and reverse lights or does each
one need it's own ground point?
I would hate to get it all threadlocked and then a day later remember I
shoulda done something before that.
One old timer said to just place the body on the frame and then go have a
beer with yer buddies and talk about it for a week.
I have thought about pre-mounting certain rubber mounts with High-Tac gasket
compound (to keep them from moving) since I know where they all go already
from pre-fitting.
The factory wiring is '86, and I can't find any recalls or updates....unless
somebody out there knows something.
All lighting (except headlights and frog lights
will be LED, so outside
of running a ground to all that illumination will I need a balast?
Thanks for checking this out. Any help is appreciated ...
Happy Trails!

Try over in rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys. I know at least one person has
done the same swap and will be very helpful.
