I'm expecting a Scrambler Rubicon with eco diesel, loaded out to be close to 60k msrp. And realistic sales price in the mid 50s.
 
In regards to axles:

2018 Wrangler JL Axle Info: All New Front and Rear Axles For Sport, Sahara, Rubicon – 2018+ Jeep Wrangler (JL) Forums – New Jeep Wrangler (JL / JT) News and Forum – JLwranglerforums.com

(Supposedly this is 'verified')

There will be a total of five new standard axles (3 front, 2 rear) and an optional packaged rear axle for the Sahara. Here’s how it breaks down by trim:


JL Sport (standard)
M186 Front Axle / Next Generation Dana 44 HD Rear Axle


JL Sahara (standard)
205MM Front Axle / Next Generation Dana 44 HD Rear Axle


JL Rubicon (standard)
Dana M210 Wide Front Axle / Dana M220 Wide Rear Axle


JL Sahara (optional package)
205MM Front Axle / Dana M220 Rear Axle
 
Interesting that the Rubicon will have a special "wide" axle. Will probably also equate to thicker tubes and beefier adornments.

Actually even more useful info here if it's correct:

When it comes to building up a Jeep, bigger tires are typically a big part of that equation and the bigger you go, the more concern there is regarding axle strength. Because of this, there have been a lot of questions regarding what axles will be coming on the all new Jeep JL Wrangler and the following is a list of what you can expect to see on a Rubicon, Sahara and Sport. Or at least, this is what I know as of now.

JL Rubicon - Dana M210 Front / Dana M220 Rear
The flagship JL Wrangler is the Rubicon and to help make it more capable than ever before, it will come with an all new Dana M210 axle up front and a Dana M220 axle in the rear. Unlike any of the other JL models, these axles will measure an impressive 68" wide making them 1.5" wider than a Sport or Sahara and a whole 2.5" wider than what came on the JK Wrangler. I should note that full width axles are typically 68.5".

JL Sahara (Standard) - Dana 186MM Front / Dana M200 Rear
For those of you who want the luxurious options that a JL Wrangler Rubicon offers but don't really need it's impressive rock crawling capabilities, the JL Sahara is a perfect option for you and it comes with a Dana 186MM front axle and a Dana M200 Rear Axle. Unlike the JL Rubicon, these axles measure 66.5" wide which still makes them 1" wider than what came on the JK Wrangler.

JL Sport - Dana M186 Front / Dana M200 Rear
JL Wrangler Sports will now come with a Dana M186 front and Dana M200 rear axle. Just like the JL Sahara, these axles will also measure 66.5" wide.

JL Sahara & Sport Option - Dana M220 Rear
Available as an option, the JL Wrangler Sahara and Sport will also be available with a Dana M220 rear axle which comes as a part of the limited slip differential.

Selec-Trac AWD
While it's not an axle, it should be noted that JL Wranglers that are ordered with the optional Selec-Trac All Wheel Drive system will have front axle shafts that come with CV joints. This is done to help eliminate what some refer to as, "crow hopping" and provide smoother turning.
 
So maybe they should give Tim Cameron a jl and see if the new drivetrain can handle extenuating circumstances.
