The owner's manual says it does. I haven't tried it myself.

How about trying it. With the key out of the ignition does the steering wheel lock when you give it say half a turn?

Demanding cuss, aren't ya?

Ok, I went out to the driveway and turned the wheel with the key out of the ignition.
By Jimminy, the owner's manual didn't lie. It locks.

Well, actually there arey new cars these days that do not have a steering wheel lock. I had a JK owner on another forum say his '08 JK did not have such a lock.. I figured he was wrong so came here to ask other '08 JK owners.
