I know that some of the red ones came with white and my wife had an 86 factory red with matching red top so they didn't all come with black. I must admit though that those are the only colors that I've seen.

I'll be curious to see some other variations as well.

a tan top on a red runner might look pretty good

I have always liked maroon and tan but I fear it could look like a "his name we do not speak" when your done. They have a monopoly on the maroon/blue/green and tan.

Well i played with photoshop. I did a sort of nutmeg


And body color


Nothing else pops up that looks anything near usable. White looked interesting on this color but i do not want to deal with cleaning it all the time.

you would be surprised how well white holds up. I have had a white and black car, and the white one hid the dirt much better. I say screew the jeep guys and go with a medium tan, way too much orange in the nutmeg.

Rhino liner black with a uv top coat would look cool too. I love the textured look and it stands up well.

Dan,

I cannot imagine anything uglier than that nutmeg. I think I would go white or black.
