Im trying to understand the point of the comment.

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place then. I was looking at the swaybar links and they looked just like my X? So maybe they were Rubicons? No big deal to me either way, just trying to figure out if it was common or if I was missing something. I was starting to wonder if I was the only X in town.
Except the Limited. It was on custom 17 or 18 wheels with what must have been 35's that had maybe 2 inches from contacting the fenders. It was 2 wheel drive.

Looking inside the center panel (or left side on 11s and 12s) have the locker switch.
Wheels don't matter becuase I sold my rubicon wheels when I went bigger so someone is driving mine around on a non-rubicon.

My 08 had the red shocks too! That's a good way to tell stock rubicons, but I also sold these to a non-rubicon owner. I guess they can be faked too...

This is atypical. Most people "debagde" jeeps becuase they bought stripped ones and are emberassed. Cool if you want to debadge. I keep my stickers on becuase I own what's left of a rubicon (the t-case and currently my e-swaybar) and I drive it on the Rubicon.
My axles were sold, so they aren't rubicon anymore.
My lockers went with my axles.
My e-swaybar is next if I could get a trade for dual rate, I'd do it in a second.
shocks, springs, sliders, etc are all gone too!
