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 firsthand how well 3D OffRoad’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.
