All looks great but I have one concern. The gears.. With a 2012 and only running 33s I personally don't think it is necessary to do the gear swap to only 4.10s. I can burn my 33s off with no problem with 3.73s. If you were going to 35s I would see where your coming from but you will have little to no power loss with the 3.73s. If 35s or 37s are in the near future it might be worth it. Maybe the money saved could go to something else? Lockers?

I have a 2012 2 door auto with 3.73 gears and installed 35s last week. With the procal you cant even tell I am running big tires, the jeep handles them fine.

thats a nice looking JK. I like those half doors.

Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you're going for.

Personally, I like a fairly stock looking Jeep. I wouldn't add a lot of those exterior accessories myself. But, to each his own. You will be bright as hell on the trail ;o)
As far as RR, I get a pep boys accessory isle vibe from them. Im sure they make some great stuff, that's just how I feel.

You will love your JK, its a pretty sweet ride!
