Those are all great colors. I went with Black, but wouldn't do it again. Although it looks awesome (it really does), it turns into the surface of the sun after only a few minutes of daylight.

That's the first pic I've seen of the granite and I really like it. I was considering the billet but I might have to go with the granite. Going to to look for one at a dealership to see it in person.

Good luck choosing. There are so many great colors out there. Personally I don't like white on a jeep but that's just me. I wound up with Anvil although originally I wanted commando green.

The Granite is a very cool unique color you don't see too much of.

What ever you choose....under the paint its all Jeep Wrangler....you can't loose
Yeah I think the last part of your post there sums it up best, and makes me realize I shouldn't worry so much about it.

So, as an update: I went looking at different lots tonight, and a new colour has entered the discussion.. Billet.

I'd never really given it much of a chance because I always simply assumed it was just traditional car silver, but when I really looked at it, there's a lot more to it than that. And it looked really good at sunset just with the lights in the lot. So I'm seriously considering that one now.

Definitely get the granite crystal. It is an awesome color, and will be worth more down the road as it will be an uncommon color that will have a huge demand.

I would find a dealer with a lot of different colors in stock and just walk around and sees what really grabs you

If you can't do that look at a bunch of show and tell threads...



Here's a small inspiration shot, from the Bethel Maine Jamboree
