Is the JL an auto? I’d expect the 8 speed to be longer than the old 5 speed.

looks like the front jl shaft is longer than the jk and the rear jl shaft is shorter than the jk.

is the t case different from the jl and jk, because the jl looks bigger.

Interesting. The JK looks way more cluttered underneath.

Two transfer cases are carry overs from JK to JL

Standard NV241 - JK & JL
Rubicon NV241OR - TJ, JK & JL
Optional MP3022 - JL

Sure is a lot of empty space around that exhaust pipe.

For what it's worth I think that's where the E-torque battery is when the 2.0T is equipped.
I thought about trying to fit a 10gal water tank in that area for overlanding. It would need a pump and heat shielding for the exhaust, but it seems like a lot of wasted space.
