Must do mod!
Great Post!!! 
Thanks everyone for the write-up and comments..... I did come accros one issue though... I have the hood lock setup and this forced me to install the B&M SuperCooler in the center grill, with the nozzles facing up (on on each side of the hood lock). This didnt require much effort though. And it allowed/caused me to run the hoses in a different way. One hose went off to the left, the other off to the right. In the end, I ran the line from the factory cooler towards the passenger side of the Jeep, and around the radiator. Then the output of the B&M supercooler went around the radiator on the driver side and into the return line to the transmission.
Enjoy, and thanks again for all the great discussion and images!!!

Just installed mine!!!! Im so stoked to have finally done the "paratus" method install hahaha. It was really hard to get myself to cut the trans line and see the blood drip out but once it was done i felt a weight off my shoulders knowing that my tranny is gonna be happy!
There were a couple hiccups..... First I was short like 2 bolts and 1 hose clamp from b&m... i had an extra clamp but wtf???. and the bolts i did have were so long that that they almost touch the radiator. I had to zip tie the bottom of the cooler to the metal bar at the bottom of the grill opening and then bolt the top to the eyelets on the top. kind of a mixed method but it looks solid
also.. is it possible to tighten the clamps too much? they are tiiiight but i think if i needed to i could get em to go a little more hahaha. i just dont want to crush the tube ya know?
ALSO........ I HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF FLUID to get to the first "hot" dot!!!!! My engine was veeeery warmed up as was my tranny... and I had 4 inches of tube left over from the install so i know it wasnt that I has added so much tubing that i needed to fill extra space. My only thought on the matter is that the jeep is only 1 month old and might have been a quart low from the day it was built! any thoughts on the matter from my fellow jk'ers?
anyway thank you to all involved with this thread!!! I was very confident in doing this install after reading (every page).... and a big shout out to Paratus13 for making it so clear!!!!
