Welcome to WAL.
Can it be done? Probably so.
Is it simple? Nope.

Welcome to Wayalife. You'd be better off to buy a 2012+, IMO. Or just buy a new interior, made for your 2008.

Interior changed in 2011. That being said, I don't think you could just swap parts over or very easily anyway.

I have a 2011. It has the new interior, but the old motor and transmission. It's a bit of an oddball. They've also made small changes since then. For example, my friend's 2013 has different seats than mine.

Yup! I should have waited for the new engine and bought mine in 2012

New seats or seat covers can do a lot do freshen up the look inside. I had the old, torn, uncomfortable seat covers replaced with a custom set from Katzkin. They actually made the seats more comfortable.

I would suggest doing something with the tub if you're going to have everything out. Either bed line, or have it looked with the rubber liner before putting carpet back down.

I recommend this too. I had the entire Jeep Line-X'd.
I highly recommend masking off the mounts for the rear seat. Removing the Line-X from them to mount the rear seat back in it sucked.
And, of course, a gratuitous outside shot to show my commitment to bed lining a Jeep.

Anything can be done if you want it too. I know I have read a few threads of people doing it. I have done it to my '97 Subaru Impreza, swapped interior out of a '04 chassis STI, dash everything. Lots of work but can be done. I specifically looked for a 2011< as well becuase I wanted the newer interior!

Buy a new stereo, seat covers, a sportcage and some dash covers (they come in different patterns), that will change the interior and improve your Jeep.
Edit: the dash covers are a personal thing and I don't personally condone installing them...
