Default Grounds in rear of xj

So wiring some lights on the back of my roof rack and just decided to ground the lights somewhere back there instead of running another wire to the front. I didn't really see any solid metal to metal grounds.. What has everyone else done?

I've found my roof rack and rails are insulated from the body and don't ground. However I use a good gauge wire (10 - 12) and go direct to stainless sheet metal screw thru the body. Door pillar is solid and my favourite choice, drill a 3/32 hole and hit it thru with a #8 or #10 screw, I like the stainless fasteners.
