I just came across this Detroit News article (dated Nov. 20) and thought you all might want to know. It looks like we could have more of a wait before they reveal the JL. At least production doesn't seem to be pushed back for both JL and JT.
Since Detroit is only a month away I would that means they will not be showing it there. Any guesses as to why if production is still on track?

Next-gen Wrangler
Following the rollout of the Compass and Trackhawk, Jeep will close the year with the introduction of the next-generation of the brand’s icon — the Wrangler.
Manley said the company is debating on when to unveil the SUV, which he said this summer was expected to be unveiled in the first half of the year. He said the Wrangler “probably” won’t debut until the second half of the year, but stressed there is no delay in launching the vehicle.
Manley said the vehicle “is looking fantastic.” He declined to provide specifics on the all-new SUV, which is expected to begin arriving in showrooms at the end of the year.
Ralph Gilles, Fiat Chrysler head of global design, separately told The News that the Wrangler is always a challenge to redesign, as the vehicle has such a cult following.
“The Wrangler is a critical pilot light of the brand,” Gilles said. “Because of how much we’ve invested in Jeep, the Wrangler can remain true to itself. We’re not trying to make the Wrangler be what it’s not meant to be.”
Manley said a Jeep pickup based off the next-generation Wrangler is still slated for mid-2018.
