Combat Off Road Tail Light Assembly

Combat Off Road Tail Light Assemblies: Built for the Trail, Engineered to Last

When your Jeep heads deep into the backcountry, factory tail lights become a liability. Protruding plastic housings are magnets for trail damage — snagged by branches, cracked by rocks, and faded by UV exposure long before their time. Combat Off Road set out to solve that problem with the Tail Gunner Tail Light Kit, a purpose-built LED tail light assembly engineered specifically for serious Jeep wheelers.

The Tail Gunner Series: What Sets It Apart

The centerpiece of Combat Off Road's tail light assembly lineup is the flush-mounted Tail Gunner design. Unlike OEM lights that jut out from the body, the Tail Gunner sits tight against the Jeep's quarter panel, dramatically reducing the risk of impact from rocks and branches on the trail. Each housing is constructed from one-piece stamped 5052 aluminum — the same class of alloy used in demanding structural applications — and finished with a high UV load black powder coat that resists fading, corrosion, and the harshest weather conditions.

Inside, Combat Off Road sources industry-leading Grote LED components to power the Tail Gunner's illumination. These are not generic LEDs — Grote is a trusted name in commercial and heavy-duty vehicle lighting, and the tail light LEDs used here carry a 10-year warranty, while the integrated signal LEDs are backed by a 3-year warranty. Every kit is SAE/DOT certified, meaning it meets legal standards for on-road use despite its trail-ready pedigree.

Jeep-Specific Fitment Across Multiple Generations

Combat Off Road has engineered the Tail Gunner system to fit three of the most popular Jeep platforms on the market today:

• Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU (2007–2018) — flush-mount LED upgrade for one of the most widely built Jeep generations
• Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU (2018+) — designed for the current-generation Wrangler with plug-and-play integration
• Jeep Gladiator JT (2020+) — purpose-fit for the Gladiator's unique quarter panel geometry

Each kit is available in both the signature black powder coat finish and a Raw Aluminum option for Jeep owners who prefer a more industrial aesthetic or plan to anodize or coat the housing themselves.

Installation and the Combat Lifetime Guarantee

One of Combat Off Road's core design principles is installer-friendly engineering. The Tail Gunner kits use a bolt-on mounting system with plug-and-play wiring — no cutting, no splicing, and no welding required. Most installs can be completed in approximately one hour with basic hand tools. For those who no longer have their OEM mounting studs on hand, Combat Off Road also offers a precision-engineered SUS316 stainless steel Tail Light Mounting Stud Pack as an accessory for the JT Gladiator fitment.

Every Tail Gunner Tail Light Assembly is backed by the Combat Lifetime Guarantee, reflecting the brand's confidence in the long-term durability of their products. For Jeep owners who demand components that can take a hit and keep working, Combat Off Road's tail light assemblies represent a meaningful, trail-proven upgrade over factory hardware.
