More specifically what sort of steps do I have to go through to do the swap. It's a 1987 Cherokee chief, and I am hoping it's as easy as taking parts off that pos grand Cherokee.

2 36" LED light bars one on each side, 2 super 4x4 caged off-road lights up front on the brush guard, 2 swivel spotlights on the roof, 2 round glass work lights also up front, and maybe 4 KC daylighters.
