Good timing...
Today I rotated the e-disco on my Rubicon. This thread hasn't been updated in a while, so I thought I would add more pics to hopefully provide some additional value. Special thanks to dmhines for his great pics and write-up. I would have been a little lost without his help. Note that the listed parts are slightly different than those mentioned previously. I had to improvise based on what was available at the local hardware store.
Parts include:
(1) 10mm bolt, ~4" long and fully threaded
(1) Sleeve, ~1.5" long
(3) nuts
(1) small diameter washer
(2) large diameter washers
Attachment 126862
Pre-assembled (for illustration purposes only; must be disassembled before install):
Attachment 126863
As mentioned above, the 4 sway bar frame bolts must be removed before rotation (pics included in previous posts).
Rotated e-disco with disconnected wire:
Attachment 126864
Installed. Note that the new bolt assembly replaces an existing housing bolt:
Attachment 126865
With the e-disco rotated and reassembled, the wire connector mount rubs the plastic shroud below the radiator.

That's a good question. I'm not sure if it's an issue, and was hoping others who have done this mod would be able to discuss. If it is an issue, I'm not sure why the shroud could not be trimmed.

I just order the parts from Quadratech ... figured it was worth the extra couple of bucks just not have pay for the gas to drive to the store.
Installing a new bumper next week ... so, this should be a no-brainer mod while doing that.
