Roamin’ Gladiator Build Series: Part 5, Off-Road Light Upgrades with Color-Changing LEDs

The off-road community had been anxiously awaiting a new Jeep truck since the Comanche ended production in the early 1990s. So when the Jeep Gladiator truck debuted in 2020, it quickly became a common sight on the roads and trails across the United States.

Given the popularity of the Jeep Gladiator JT, the Summit Racing folks brought one into their studio to transform it into an even more versatile all-rounder. The goal was to create a Jeep truck capable of bringing you—and all your gear—wherever your adventures take you. See the whole project unfold in the Roamin’ Gladiator Jeep Build Series from Summit Racing.

Part 5, Let There Be (LED) Light

There’s no doubt that off-road lighting is an essential upgrade for any trail rig, but as Dr. E.L. Brown famously stated, “Why not do it with some style?”

To that end, the Summit Racing build team not only added upgraded taillights and a light bar, the Jeep truck got a complement of slick color-changing LED lights that makes a dramatic statement on the trails and at shows. Better still, follow along in this video and you’ll see firsthand how easy it is to install these lights and, more importantly, how much fun it can be cycling through all the different lighting configurations.
