So when and how do we get all of the nitty gritty on the new axles?

Tube thickness
Ring and Pinion size
Diff cover stamped or forged
Direct comparisons to the 2017 recon axles
Wheel backspacing requirements

So when and how do we get all of the nitty gritty on the new axles?

I suspect the very detailed info will come either tonight at midnight after the press embargo, when likely even Dana can now provided detailed specs, or once folks like 4Wheeler or TruckTrend do a deep dive listing/examining in detail all the major changes that impact Jeepers.

Great. Just like the LA auto show, I'll be staying up late to watch for this. Once again, like a kid on Christmas Eve!

Yep, me too, and tonight being at home instead of some spotty resort WiFi, I’m gonna be using my 100Mbs to full effect seeing who’s got what.

I suspect TFL will have a good “hands-on” video about driving back from Arizona with their loaner JLU Rubi 2.0L, and with their experience across the US with their prior Rubi HR, and Roman’s son’s JK and prior TJ, I think they are experienced enough Wrangler riders to not just be NYC CR Maytag repairmen type reviews.

Plus the usual suspects like 4Wheeler, TruckTrend/MotorTrend and Jalopnik, etc.

4Wheeler did a good early look at the JK improvements and comparing New JK to outgoing TJ, and even provided insight in the 2012 JK refresh with subtle details like the slight change to the NSG370’sclutch, flywheel, etc. plus the updated taller 6th gear. So I suspect if anyone gets into the weeds (into the reeds if you’re a swamper) and covers the minutiae it’ll likely be them.

Where can this be watched? Is this a Jeep official show?

It'll be all over youtube

I'm wondering if 4wheeler.com, or Car and Driver, or others might have it, too.

It’s not a single show or source, it will simply be the unleashing of all the reviews waiting to be made public. So it should just be a flood of info from all the usual sources of Jeep revews & info.

Likely even Jay will be able to post stuff he’s had to hold off on.

So I suspect in about 45mins if the Embargo end is EST or 3:45 if PST, then this will happen with all the JL reviews.

TFL is up with overview pricing, etc. Mid-read.

Nothing on Jalopnik, 4Wheeler, MotorTrend has their review not TT, about to read that.

8-speed is a $2,000 upgrade on 3.6L not $3,500 as earlier reported.
