I love my Rescue Green, but if they had an orange, my wife would have loved it - maybe I'll buy her an orange one when her leased Liberty is up.

It'd be a great excuse to buy another JK!

Scouter4life - the leather seats came as a special called " Limited Unlimited Group" with a code of "AZZ" . It was started, on the first of March 2008 , to be for a limited time, but I don't know how long. With the Leather seats you also got Grab Handles, fancy door sills protectors with JEEP embossed , and some additional fancy dash trim. Price tag was aruond $1800. You were forced to buy Tow Package, 6 CD Player package, Chrome Gas Cover and Chrome Tail Pipe extension. I was ordering everything in the forced option group anyways so now I've got Leather seats (something I always want).

MY Jeep finished the assembly line build on the 9th April and has been with a vender to add on all of the extras. The factory seats could be removed and leather ones installed at their facility. That's what the Dealers computer shows as of 9 AM this morning the 14TH of April.

The JK still shows up as Rescue Green on the dealers computer, even with all this talk of dropping that color.

Maybe I will be a happy Jeeper after all.

I would really like the leather seats option on the Rubicon, but without the chrome or radio upgrade.

Leather in a JK... Good luck in the summer when the tops down n the sun makes those seats hot enough to fry an egg.

I would like to see the trim on the interior tho

You could always get those $1500 leather seats then cover them up with some $200 seat covers.

For all those who comment about leather seats getting too hot in the summer, you have forgotten where this Jeep is going to call home. Our temperture in Nova Scotia is usually so chilly you will need the electric heater in the seats turned on if your driving with the top off or Sunrider canvas down.

I look forward to the slightly sun warmed leather in the summer. It will never be hot in this part of the world.
