Protective films and coatings company XPEL Inc. partnered with Stellantis to bring exterior automotive protection to a unique Jeep vehicle build at last week’s 2026 Easter Jeep Safari.
As a special collaboration during the nine-day event, held March 28-April 5 in Moab, Utah, XPEL added its STEALTH Paint Protection Film to Jeep’s 2026 Gladiator “Shadow Ops” Special Edition build to protect exterior paint surfaces from rock chips, scratches and trail debris while delivering a distinctive satin finish, and its XPEL PRIME XR PLUS nano-ceramic window film to help shield occupants from the intense desert sun and maintain interior comfort.
Installation of the protective films was performed by New Layer Customs of Troy, Michigan.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with the Jeep brand to help protect the new Gladiator ‘Shadow Ops’ Edition at one of the off-road community’s most iconic events,” said Anthony Pecaski, senior global OEM business manager at XPEL. “Moab’s rugged trails present the perfect proving ground for our products, and the Gladiator is the ideal platform to showcase how XPEL protection keeps vehicles looking their best , no matter where the adventure leads.”
To commemorate the collaboration, the Jeep Gladiator also featured a custom XPEL Easter Jeep Safari vehicle graphic livery, celebrating the joint build between XPEL and Stellantis and highlighting the partnership throughout the event.
Held annually in Moab, the Easter Jeep Safari is one of the most anticipated gatherings for Jeep enthusiasts and off-road fans, drawing thousands of attendees for a week of trail rides, vehicle debuts and industry showcases.
