In this episode, we take off for Southern Utah to off road in Sand Hollow and put the newly rebuilt Blaze JT through its paces. Built for technical trails and the open desert, we find out first-hand how well 3D Off-Road’s new Jeep JT Gladiator build does rock crawling vs. go fast. We do a complete build walk around, highlighting wheels and tires, drivetrain, suspension, steering and more. We also point out the rear trailing arms and explain how they are different from standard control arms. With Matt’s fabrication skills, he was able build and design a Jeep Truck that can truly do it all.
Follow along to see just how well this Jeep Gladiator Off Road Build performs at Sand Hollow State Park. Be sure to stick around for the end to see Matt Thompson get some serious air after jumping the Blaze JT in the sand dunes. Drop us a comment below and let us know what your favorite part of this custom Jeep JT Gladiator is!

Guys, you really have to see this in person to appreciate how bad ass this rig is!! Great job Matt...!
Thanks Sully!
I bought my Gladiator Mojave in December and put it on 40's with the intention of being both a desert runner and a rock crawler. This truck is my new inspiration and love the blue/orange color combo.
That’s great to hear! Please let us know if you ever need any more details on the setup. The gladiator is going to be a great platform for you to do just that!

Most awesome JT build I’ve ever seen by a mile. That jump was incredible!! Great job 3D Customs and everyone that assisted in the build - makes me want one!
Thanks for the kind feedback!
Everything that is on that beast needs to go to mine! 😄
We can do the exact same thing to yours when you're ready. Tell us when!
This build is CRAZY! I cant wait to see it in person.
Also, that jump was so badass!
We will all have to do a camping / wheeling trip together this summer!
"Needs more power to make the suspension work right..." I am so going to use that argument when justifying an engine upgrade to my wife. :-D
Haha, same here!
That's one hellava jt build. Nicely done guys.
Thank you!!
That jump was epic! Amazing build
Thanks for watching and commenting! We really appreciate it and are stoked to hear you enjoyed the video and build!
The JT looks incredible and the build is amazing. Well done 3D
Thanks guys!
Jeeps are the best type of vehicle! Rock on 🤟
Cheers to that! Thanks for watching.
One word..... AWESOME!
Badass! He sent it!
FULL SEND! haha
All these internet gladiator builds. I’m SO jealous. My stock gladiator is so sad… 😂
Definitely my inspiration for a ten year build on my new jlur. Gotta start with a basic 2.5 lift and 35s, but gonna be coming back here to take ideas for the future
Awesome! Don’t be afraid to reach out if questions arise as you go. But a 2.5” lift and 35s is a plenty capable and fun setup on a JLUR. 👍🏻
@@Built2Wander hey I appreciate it, i definitely will! Yea this will be my first 4x4 so I’m hoping to learn how to drive it correctly first and learn as much as i can on the 35s before going up a notch. Ultimate goal is to make it similar to yours, so its a capable trail/dune rally jeep as well as retain its rock crawling🤙🏻
@@Cptkirk1315 great plan. You will learn a lot on that setup and be able to do a lot of trails as well. A lot of folks underestimate the capability of a moderate lift with 35s. Just remember to enjoy the process!
@@Built2Wander hey thank you, im really looking forward to it! Im always looking to enjoy life, and thats a huge reason why I decided on the jlur as my new vehicle 😎
That front bumper is one of the best I have seen! The top bar is absolutely mint, I'm wondering where it hits for the front facing camera. Looks like Hefty Fabworks is down in Springs, need to look into them for sure.
wow That Gladiaator is BADD ASS!!! My Gladiators needs just couple of more mods to looks like that! lol JK!!!! great Job guys, hopefully you guys will be in Eastern Jeep Safari to meet you guys. That Jump was insane!!
Cheers.

We will be at Easter Jeep safari. If you are around, please find us and say hi!
Love the front bumper and hoop. Is that something I can buy direct from Hefty Fab Works for my JL?
These new Jeep JL platforms are amazing. Stock or build up…
Agreed! Both the JL and JT!
awesome truck, I am surprise you did not break in on that big jump, or did you?
Also this truck is probably really fun in the dunes with the top off
I would imagine so! We will need to do that next.
Aluminum suspension links? Very well built truck!
Is this the stock V6 petrol engine? Or have you guys modified it, awesome rig
Only thing I don’t like is the brown color on the rock sliders and bumpers.
Very nice! I was totally expecting to see damage after that jump. Guess not! 😂
Haha we were shocked at how big Matt sent it!! But the truck was completely fine. Pretty awesome 🤘🏻
If the jump was on hard ground there would have been damage😉
The ladder frame construction won't handle jumping longterm. The frame will eventually bend.
Power plant?
3.6L V6 but an America’s Most Wanted 6.4L hemi swap is next!
I’m surprised there’s no hellcat swap on ot
If you watch til the end he talks about a HEMI Swap coming this spring. It's getting the 6.4L 392 motor.
OMG, I'm gonna go fucking broke with my newly acquired '22 Mojave, aren't I?
