As stated in previous thread you want to make sure you already have the antennas needed. Sahara and Rubicon are supposed to already have them if you have keyless entry w/ push to start.
This is what I did along with the videos and resources I used.
Step 1 - swap handles
(Parts Needed: Torx T20)
Follow this video:
rear swing gate has a grommet that needs to be removed to access the T20 screw holding the cap.
Step 2 - remove door panels.
(Tools needed: Torx T20, Torx T30 & plastic pry tool)

Follow this video to remove the panel
Step 3 - remove inner door card
(Tools needed: 10mm socket)
PDF

Remove 9 bolts around perimeter of the plate.
(Pic of all bolts and wires removed)
Roll the window down till you see the bolts holding the window. Remove bolts holding window and tape window up to keep it out of the way.
Once you have the window up you need to carefully pull the inner card back enough to get to the wire to the door lock and handle. This is the hardest part, you have to lift up slightly to get the bottom out first. You then have to pull down and twist just enough to clear the power window track and actuator.
(Tried to get a pic of the track you need to maneuver out)
Once you have the card pulled back enough remove and replace the door harness. This part is pretty self explanatory. Just make sure when you add the handle pigtail it is out of the way of the window path.
Step 4 - put everything back together
Step 5 - rear swing gate jumper
(Tools needed: Plastic pry tool)
Using a pry tool firmly pull the plastic panel off on the rear swing gate
(Pics borrowed from fellow members)
Step 6 - replace power lock harness with new jumper
Step 7 - put plastic panel back on
Step 8 - go to dealer and have them add sales code GXD and program vehicle
