Body Doors...same...
TPMS added in 08
Saharas now have "metal" sleeve on bumpers
Seatbelt location on pass side moved I think
Gearing on base models is 3.21 and 4.10 on special order (ie trailer group or customer request) and Rubis for 07...Rubis only have 4.10 in 08 Special orders are 3.73

I think that is it...although if I missed something someone will chime in...

4:10 is ONLY available for Rubicon in 08 models. I got the tow package on my X and could only get the 3.73 gears.

They changed the back seat as well. On the 07's, the seat release is a large lever on the top outside of the seat. On the 08's, it a strap that comes through the seat at the lower lumbar section.
