So Gina, I noticed you went from Bright White & Light Khaki to Tuscadero, then Mojito. Woah!, that was quite a jump. What happened?....did you have LASIK surgery on your eyes and wanted to celebrate (or) did you get a sudden burst of self confidence and wanted to strut your stuff? :turkey:

Do you ever feel like some ex-smokers do and worry that you might revert back to your old ways and buy those boring (uh, sorry) colors again? :LOL:

The truth is that I had to buy the white Jeep used and the khaki Jeep off the lot. It was November 2006 and that was the last TJ they had. I had it painted 1948 Willys Michigan Yellow in 2015, and the below photo was taken in 2021. (And there, I changed my sig for you!)

I've always loved bright colors and my favorite color is blue-green. In my current house, my sofa is teal and my refrigerator is turquoise! If Bikini had been available, that's what I would've gotten. Tuscadero was a bit of a departure for me, but my bedroom has always been pink since I was a little girl.

If they added Steel Blue to the Wrangler lineup, I would probably be all over it…

Well, okay, now I don’t have to worry about you anymore! Yellow & Gray look good together. And good for you with your house colors. Bright colors beautify America and make things less boring. I live in San Antonio and the first time I passed a cemetery I was amazed at how colorful it was. The Hispanics really know how to “cheer up" a place and if there’s anything that needs it, it’s a graveyard!

Gotta agree with Bikini - it’s THE best looking blue on any vehicle that I’ve ever seen. But, I’m kinda glad that it wasn’t available for 2026. My head would have been on the verge of exploding if I had to choose between Bikini and Goldilocks. Ahh, but Goldilocks would have won because I’ve been wanting a metallic orange vehicle since 2001 and with Goldi I get 2 additional hues - yellow & gold in the right lighting.

Blue-Green, huh? Yes, definitely a very nice color. I have a blue-green Jaguar in my 1:18 scale diecast car collection and I bought it just for that color. Okay, now suppose Jeep mixed Bikini with Mojito....could you stand it!?! That would be one hellofa color called “Bikjito”? or Mokini?.....mmmm, I don’t know, too hard to pronounce. How ‘bout just “Emerald Sapphire” or “Aquamarine Green”....or, just let Jeep name it.

And one final thought in reference to your “built for me!” comment. Last night at 11:01 pm I received an e-mail from Jeep Brand that Goldi has just made it to the factory assembly line and is starting to be built. In my child’s mind, that’s pretty exciting, thinking as you did, that the color and all of the options I chose will be assembled just for me! :rock:

Congrats! It's so awesome to have a window sticker with "This vehicle was especially built for (your name)" at the top! The window sticker you'll be able to download won't have it, but the paper one will.

I didn't know that. I'll be looking forward to seeing it. Thanks.

$50k+ vehicle that you can have wrapped in the wildest colors you could dream up for $3k. Buy whatever color they aren't marking up as the base color and put the $500 you save towards the wrap... and you have a 1 of 1 for $2500.
