Are there green jeeps out there used for some kind of rescue?
I did a google search and found a 2004 Rescue Jeep concept. Does it come from that cuz the color is similar?

IIRC, Rescue Green was the first color to be discontinued after '07, then it reappeared a couple years later.

He is right. It was available in 2007 and 2008 discontinued in 2009, brought back in 2010 and now discontinued again for 2011.

the only reason i know this is because I had a buddy with a 1997 one, with it next to my jeep there is virtually no difference except forsome more metallic flakes.

I think the color itself has been around, but the current name is from the Rescue concept. Same thing with the Gladiator rims on the Sahara. They're based off the rims for the Gladiator concept which was a test platform for the JK.
