Coolant reservoir and hose to the pump. Lots of steps.... But very well thought out instructions.
Wiring her up!! Feels like the home stretch!! This is the fuse center and relay for the pump. Wires run to pump, battery, ground, and we are drilling the hole for the trigger to run to sweet pea's fuse center.
This install is going faster than I can post. Full intake is back in. Look stock? It is the stock intake. This means you can go with an after market induction system or go with a snorkel
DONE!! Right about 9 hours and we stopped half way to eat. There were no surprises and I posted it all in real time so you can look at the speed we went from the posts. We started at 10am and finished around 7pm.
Important note- we've never installed anything like this before. We had no idea what to expect. The time we took is what you can expect.

Hey guys, when I noted this step. I stated that one of the wires from the relay and fuse center went to the battery. This is incorrect. The red wire im referring to in this post goes to the jeeps factory fuse center. Not the battery.
Ok, here's my impressions.
First, you know its different right away. The sound is not as crazy as I expected. Its more subdued, So right now i'd classify Sweet Pea as a sleeper.
She will roll up with her fully stock exterior, then smoke you.
I think that as soon as you add an aftermarket intake like AFE's unit, you will here the more pronounced SHRIEK. I need to see if I can get my hands on one of those and take another sound byte.
Driving-
The power is linear and seemless. More of a freight train feeling early in the RPM band. The power delivery is well planned and there is no burst of power anywhere in the curve.
The torque is lurking under your gas pedal all the time. Nudge the throttle in any gear and you'll know its not stock.
The pentastar loves the extra air getting forced in.
Here it is...
the pentastar with an aftermarket intake and NO supercharger sounds mean. I'll see about getting one installed
THIS VIDEO IS SOUND OF AN INTAKE NO SUPERCHARGER> JUST MAKING A POINT.
