Stainless steel wheel covers are available to give the wheels a little flash. HID lights are also available along with the usual roof rack, tire carriers, and winch. Most attention has been given to the interior. The doghouse cover has been redesigned again but is still very similar to the 96-97 style. The battle against interior noise continues, including a new soft top liner to control sound and provide insulation.
Air conditioning with the auxiliary rear unit is standard.
The HVAC system has been improved. Most notable in the controls but it is not clear if there are other differences from the 97.5 improvements. Leather seat covers and heated seats are new to the option list. Power windows are standard. The mechanical aspects of the vehicle remain the same.
