JW Speaker and Fog Install
Headlights First; TLG-Auto.com with Anti Flicker harness
Plug and play; drivers side (left) I had to dremel some modification in the 2012 to get it to seat right.
Fogs, brackets TLG-Auto.com with fog plug and play adapters; patience def needed here!
Had to cut into bumper to make fog light hole larger, Then, carefully placed brackets over factory holes and threaded the bolts into the factory hole with a screw driver (ONLY) don't over tighten! Trick is to pre start every screw before lining up brackets. I then used a large zip tie over each fog light and screwed into bumper for added security and tightness. I was a little worried at first because the fogs do not actually seat into the fog light factory holes, but don't worry once secured, ant the bumper is back on it looks awesome.
I have posted some pics and there are some youtube videos on the install, just take your time. Will tell you that the jeep will look funny without the matching fogs, the factory fogs look very yellow compared the jw speakers of course.
Good Luck!

Gibson Metal Mulisha Cat Back 2012 - Awesome
Must say I was skeptical about this as I didn't want it to be obnoxiously LOUD! Well after the less than 45 minute install, I am very happy. Install was simple: disconnect neg battery terminal so computer with adjust and reset with the new exhaust, disconnect on factory bolt, disconnect welded hangers from the factory rubber grommets and remove stock. Connect the new Gibson, attach the factory rubber grommets to the new Gibson hangers, attach the Gibson supplied UBOLT pipe connector and tighten firmly. Attach the awesome metal mulisha exhaust tips ( I pushed mine back as far as they would go and they stick out the back just right! Reattach neg battery terminal and you are done. Start engine and check for exhaust leaks at ubolt and recheck all bolts after 50 miles. Good Luck! Oh, most importantly, partsgeek.com, 409 delivered. Search web for coupons, SAV15 cut it $15 bucks off for me, the already very low price.

Personalized
I gave my Jeep the personal touch. Removed the Sahara Wrangler Unlimited stickers and replaced them with something a lil more personal. The freedom we enjoy to Jeep in this beautiful country shall always be protected.

Yes of course, Headlights were easy, except on 2012 drivers side headlight would not seat properly, so just some minor dremel work... fog lights are a lot of work but so worth it.. Black on the yellow looks NICE!
Dude You know that the evolutions are plug-and-play right???
