For sure not in the 2007 manual. I understand it will not work at all in 2007 models. Not in my version of the 2008 manual. I understand it works in later 2008 models - for sure doesn't work in mine. In the 2009 manual:

The following procedure will disable (or re-enable) ESP
functionality in the vehicle.
1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position.
2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the
wheels are pointed straight ahead.
3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON.
4. Wait approximately five seconds for the system bulb
check.
5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half turn to the
right (clockwise).
6. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and turn and
hold an additional one-half turn to the left (counterclockwise).
8. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
9. Turn the steering wheel back to center.
10. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
11. Cycle the ignition key to OFF.
After performing the ESP disable procedure correctly,
“ESP OFF” will be displayed in the odometer for approximately
12 seconds each time the ignition is moved to ON.
Repeating the ESP disable procedure will re-enable normal
ESP operation.

Get an Aeroforce Interceptor. Turns off ESP just fine.

Switch mod, tap the purple w/blue strpe wire, put a switch, turns off esp, bas, abs. Used to be a write up somewhere on here. On 07's anyway.

I used this technique for my 08. But I had to have the jeep running for it to work.

You can get the Aeroforce Interceptor. It's the only thing I know of that will actually turn all the ESP including ABS off.
