According to the order guide, the black hard top is not an option with the Moab, whether you get dual tops or not:
I have a Moab with dual top group. I can confirm that my hard top is body color, and for approx $900 extra I also got the black premium soft top.
They released it approx 3 weeks before the order window closed for 2018 but they didn't publicly announce it, so only a very small number of us got an order in. The vast majority of them will be 2019's. Jeep will begin producing 2019 models at the end of October, so expect to see some on the lots before the end of the year. However FCA prioritizes special orders over dealer orders, so you'll likely get one sooner if you special order it (and of course you get to choose the exact combination of options you want).
There are some 2018 Moabs en route to dealers. The window to order a 2018 Moab was actually open before the Moab was formerly announced. In fact, most reports were that the window to order a 2018 Moab closed the same day or the day before the official announcement was made. That sent most of us Moab buyers into a bit of frenzy because we thought we missed the opportunity to order something we had only just learned about.
I'm not sure about Hellayella, I think he might be confusing it for Mojito (the neon green color). Jeep has said that they are discontinuing it for 2019, but at least as of now it is still appearing on 2019 order guides. But for anyone who has their heart set on that color, I would order asap because it may not be around for long.
As of now, the Moab is a prefigured set of options which are not configurable other than a couple option packages that can be added (cold weather, dual top, or towing). It's only available as an automatic and with the V6 engine. But if you haven't driven a JL yet, do so before judging this. The JK had the same engine but only a 5-speed transmission, whereas the JL has a much-improved 8-speed. It's amazing how much a better transmission can make the same engine feel so much more responsive.
I drove a 6MT JL Rubicon, and thought that transmission was great, and it's the sole reason I'm considering the JL. I've never driven an automatic that elicited any kind of response, period. Even exotics with DCTs; they were just machines doing machine things. But I love the tactility of a good manual.
Then looks like the Moab won't be a fit for you, as it's highly unlikely they'll start making it configurable. You should move forward with the MT Rubicon if that's what you want!
Sahara looks great. May i ask what since tires and rims you have there? And did you do a 2 inch lift?
We need Kurtis to post some pics of the inside. Hes holding out on us lol.. come on Kurtis lets see the inside of that MOAB lol @Columbus104
