PSA. If you’re getting a manual realize that the clutch occupies the driver side firewall pass through. There is no pass through on the manual Jeeps.
GET THE HD ELECTRICAL GROUP! This will give you:
2x40amp lines
2x15amp lines
2x10amp lines
Inside the cab. This is a life saver if you need power inside and will keep you from having to drill through the firewall.
There’s also a small pass through in the center console just under the inboard carpets.
Now you won’t do what I did looking at the instructions going... umm the hole is occupado now what am I supposed to do.

. Then there was getting through it, at first I tried going from the engine bay into the cab but with the extremely limited work area, this is up behind the blower behind the glove box, essentially I was laying on the floor of the jeep looking up behind it, I couldn't reach my fingers to attach the wires to the coat hanger. At first, I tried to drill through, but that was a no go and like others have said a coat hanger was required. After the first attempt didn't work I ran a coat hanger from the cab into the engine bay, attached nylon string and pulled it into the cab, then attached my wire to the nylon string and pulled it into the engine bay, and then proceeded to put the entire thing back together. Lessons learned: 1. Give yourself more time than you think. 2. Take pictures, especially of the way the wires are routed. 3. Use the coat hanger trick like others have talked about. 4. Watch the Genesis video a couple of times before starting.
