Got the saddle leather.. It looks better than I thought it would too.
I'll get some pics up soon. Getting my old lift put on right away ang getting new wheels an 33s. Narrowed it down to.
I was asked to re-post my original info on this thread...
I ordered a 2015 Rubicon in tank a few weeks back, got the saddle leather and NON-painted fenders, and painted hardtop. I originally ordered a Sahara, but then really thought the added goodies and the unpainted fenders on the Rubi would be better.
So far the only plans are for a Warn winch and their Elite front bumper... I might do a drop-down tailgate conversion, but haven't decided yet. The one kit out there looks really nice, but I would weld the sheet metal and re-paint rather than fill the factory holes with plugs or plates, would try to make it as OEM-looking as possible. I miss my Scrambler's tailgate!
My original post is below...

"Hi everyone, this is my fifth jeep... I've had a 1952 Willy's, two early eighties Scramblers, and a 2003 Liberty (300,000 miles until the engine blew, but it still got my daughter and me home).
Funny thing happened... I had noticed the "dune" coloured wranglers last year, that was the same colour that one of my Scramblers was in, a really neat faded yellow. A long time ago, the plan was to rebuild my 1st Scrambler and paint it in that early nineties "medium fern green" that was originally on the YJ's. I had a saddle interior ready to go in the Scrambler as well... Was going to order one of those AJ's full-length hard tops for it too. This was all happening in the mid-90's, the project never happened, and I ended up selling the two Scramblers.
This is the funny thing (at least to me it's funny), Jeep cancelled the "dune" colour and now are offering "tank" which in my opinion is similar to that old "medium fern green" that I had originally wanted to rebuild the "dune" Scrambler with...
So I had the opportunity to order an Unlimited Rubicon in Tank last week, and got the saddle interior
My 2003 Liberty finally blew up about a year ago (I beat the hell out of that thing), and driving a new Dodge Dart is fun, but I'm a Jeep guy, and I can't wait to be behind the wheel of one of these again.
Only mods that are planned are a Warn Elite bumper and a Warn Xeon winch with the synthetic rope.
Took some photos tonight of my "previous order" Sahara... That one came in today, I hope the Rubicon comes in soon! I love how those seats look with the green. Sorry about the late night dew on the truck.
Thanks all for the pics. Ordered a Unlimited Sport 2 weeks ago in tank sight-unseen. Just followed the rumors of what it would look like. Definitely not disappointed after seeing pics!
I'm really interested in seeing this with the saddle interior, both tan leather and cloth. Please post as soon as possible! Anyone get the Willys in tank?
Here ya go Scott, I didn't see your post until after I came back from the dealer. These are photos of the Sahara that I ordered (but canceled, and ordered a Rubicon with the same colours). Only one shot of the interior, but even people at the dealership were really happy with this truck as ordered.

you know this reminds me a lit of the old YJ Sahara. I liked them a lot, I always wanted one that nice when I had my YJ. FWIW I don't like the Sahara now.
Yup... fifth Jeep I've owned... Previously had a 1950 Willy's pickup... two CJ-8 Scramblers... and a Liberty (which I beat the crap out of, it finally died after 300,000 miles...
Anything with two Dana 44's is a truck in my book ;-) My book is quite thick.
Holy cow! You would never think that those Mustang II front end suspension designs would find their way into thousands of custom street rods. Regarding the commando colour, I took one of those out for a spin about a month or two before ordering the Sahara (then Rubicon), and although I love green on a Jeep, I felt that commando just wasn't for me... (any of you chaps who love commando have my utmost respect, but I'm really glad I held out for tank).
