Default Wireing help lights and CB

Want to put 8 lights on my 96 jeep cherokee sport. I want two on the front square bumpers 4 on a roof rack and two backup lights.

My questios:
1) how could i wire my reverse lights so they only come on when i put it in reverse. I did it on my chevy truck through the trailer wireing setup but is there a way to do it w/o that on stock wireing?

2) anyone have a wireing diagram?

3) where is the easiest way to get the roof rack lights into the cab?

4)And eventually i want to put a cb in too. I want the antenna on a mount above the taillights. Where would i put the cable though ?

With the reverse lights you can wire them to relays. Splice your reverse lights to the switch side of the relay and then pull a 12v off the battery and run it to the hot sides of the relays. Then put your lights in series with the relays, probably on the ground side.

I think I wrote that out correctly lol.

For the antenna question, I believe there is a black grommet close to the tail light that you can put the coax through. It's been a few years so I don't recall if there is one on the passenger side.
