Default '12 JK Vacuum Pump Relocation

I will be moving the vacuum pump & wonder about people's thoughts on the relocation kits. I have found one by EVO & one by Rough Country & am interested in the pros/cons of both.

Used EVO on mine pretty straight forward install. There is a write up on project-jk. No idea on the other.

We have plenty of these in stock,

No splicing of wires, its a simple install and still out of harms way

I'm being told to I need disconnect my battery before relocating the vacuum pump to avoid any electrical issues down the road. Anybody know anything about this?

I had not heard anything about disconnecting the battery & I did my relocation with the battery connected. I have not had any issues.

X-2, I didn't know anything about the battery cable either. Moved mine and have not had a problem.
