I used the lod one on my 12. It just rotates it out of the way. On my 13 i went with the evo that runs it up in the engine bay. It was easy as well.

I'm in San Diego and used the bracket from Quadratec, comes with everything you need. I like it, the only issue is that it takes up space that could potentially be used for something else ( I was planning on putting my fuse box there). On the other hand it pretty much takes it out of the rain and moves it a lot higher. I don't know about the side effects of it being in the hot engine bay, but sometimes it gets pretty dam hot to the touch. Also be prepare to cut the stock bracket that is holding it in place in the front bumper, it was not fun at all. Email the quadratec rep, he might be able to get you a deal on it. Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

The EVO's installs at the swaybar bracket on the frame, No cutting wires with our install.

Hi guys! I ordered a diesel 2012 JKU and is due for delivery to me here in the Philippines in December. I ordered the front and rear ARB bumpers. Just wanted to confirm if I need the relocation kit? Dave at Northridge4x4 (where I got the bumpers) said that this will not be necessary. Thanks!
