Some info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Gr...ee#Development
Most were green, some were driftwood (silver), and a few (how many?) like mine were special ordered in white w/ black leather. I think it's just the Up-Country suspension, skid plates and tow hooks, besides the funky interior which was deleted for the black leather, and the exterior color on mine. It must have been special ordered to get the Stone White paint w/the Orvis package.

They are pretty rare. I haven't seen on for sale around me in a very long time. The Limited 5.9 is pretty rare, too.

Yep. I think they only make 14,000 of them or something. By far the best grand cherokees in my opinion.
