Youtube and searching forums. Its not as hard as it first seemed but you do need some special tools. I did have a shop remove the bearings from the rear diff because the tool costs $300. They only charged me $20 for the 5 minute job. I regeared the rear about 3000 miles ago and everything is running smoothly.
here is a pic of the rear

The radio is a 430N non nav from a Town and Country. I bought it on Ebay for about $350. Plug and play install. Parts I needed were: Backup camera. Lots to choose from, I went with this one: http://www.amazon.com/EC170-07-Defin...+backup+camera I got a heavy duty video cable too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00 Also need this to connect the video cable to the 430N: Amazon.com: PAC CHYRVD Rear Video Retention Cable For Select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Vehicles 2008-2012: Car Electronics I ended up attaching it to the AEV CHMSL plate, which was like $60. Install was easy. I installed the power to the passenger backup light, so the camera gets power when in reverse. I ran the video cable all the way to the front, and used the PAC CHYRVD adapter to plug into the 430N. I had to get the Jeep updated at the dealership, they apparently need to update something within the JK to know it has a backup camera. Some people get this free, some pay one hour labor. I know people at the dealer, so I was only charged $50. Here is a thread where I learned how to do it: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-e...camera-295039/

Sorry for the delayed response... My buddy here locally in Kansas City makes them, he has a couple different models and can custom build to your preference... i.e. winch location, stinger size, etc. Reuses stock fogs as well and clears the evap canister on newer models. Best setup I could find and a heck of a price, although shipping may make that a wash. P.M. me and I'll shoot you his contact info if you'd like to reach out to him.
As for the wheels, MT Classics is correct!
