Default 70th Anniversary Edition - Photos ?

My first post. Every spring I get 'Jeep Fever' but this year I decided to do something about it. I have a 70th anniversary JK Unlimited coming in 'sometime' next week. It will be my first Jeep, and I'm unbelievably excited...as I'm sure many of you can relate.

I realize it's not for everyone, but it's exactly what I want in a Jeep...and my wife let me! But I've been having a hard time finding photos of the 70th Editions and was hoping someone could help out by posting some. Ive seen the standard press photo of the brown one that's everywhere.

This one is black with color matching black top and black leather seats (only black leather available on 2011's that I could find).

I would greatly appreciate any photos of 70th editions or even black with painted black top to help to pass the waiting time.

Thanks in advance!

I'm also waiting for my factory ordered 70th unlimited, silver/silver hardtop and black leather. The black leather is the main reason why I went with the 70th.

Actually, for my situation I wanted a silver with color-matched roof , leather, connectivity package, remote start and nav on the Sahara. The 70th is actually cheaper than an exact-optioned Sahara, but I would get Black leather instead of the brown saddle color...the rest of the 70th "upgrades" I don't really care either way.

I've been looking for real pictures and have only found a handful. I've only seen pics of the black leather on a Grand Cherokee 70th.

Thanks for posting the pics. I have spent way too much time searching for the pictures and hadn't seen any of those ones.

I love the silver too. I wanted either silver or black and they had black coming in, so i wasn't passing it down.

The main difference in the 70th (that I found) is the wheels, and the black leather. The 70th is the only way I've seen to get factory black leather seats for 2011. Otherwise it is a Sahara, and that is good with me.

Hopefully some more pictures will come in too.
