Lets test out the new Harbor Freight Badlands Offroad Jack down at Crossbar Offroad Park!
Badlands Offroad Jack: www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-o...
By now, almost every automotive enthusiast has seen some type of Offroad Jack.. and with the new Harbor Freight Badlands 3 Ton Off-Road Jack I have a feeling we will start to see more of these in the rear of your local 4x4 owners rig.
$299 is an incredible deal for a cool jack that rolls smooth, lifts plenty, and can even work in various terrain.. But since its an offroad jack, well we need to test it out Offroad!
We put the jack through some very common, and not so common offroad terrain and scenarios to see how it holds up, as well as how convenient it is to use. I wanted to let the product speak for itself, and let the viewer decide how it worked out in the various environments. In my opinion, it did an amazing job and handled everything about as much as i could ask. But in reality, how often do we need to do this stuff on a typical wheeling weekend?
In my mind it boils down to a very simple product.. A floor jack with big wheels that works in/or outside your garage, and its built well and rugged. This is not a new product, but it is a new product offered at a much lower price tag, and in a way makes the dual purpose jack feel a little more useful knowing its not a $600 glorified shop weight.
Please read instruction manual, do not operate jack except for on flat level surfaces..
The Jeep JKU used in this video is every bit of 3 tons, with the Hemi, One Tons, armor, etc, shes a very heavy girl, and the jack didnt hesitate to lift it.

@garretlewis4103
@garretlewis4103 Год назад
I have looked at these too as they have caught my eye. There are a couple of “hack” videos on RU-vid where someone turns a regular HFT jack into an off road jack. I usually carry a farm jack and a bottle jack. With all jacks you have to be careful with lifting. These type of jacks lift in an arch. If it cannot roll when lifting/jacking, the lift pad moves on the surface it is lifting/jacking and can move enough to slip off.

Just got mine today and initial thought is that it is a tank. Good review, I don't think seeing this ahead of time would have deterred me as I needed a second jack and this one seemed to be dual purpose. Heavy, yes but that strap was engineered well as you can pick it up with the handle and it is balanced.

Haven't even taken it out ofr the box yet, but I can see that it's gonna be good! I'm surprised how light it is, co0mpared to past non off-road jacks I've had.

No. I only had 4 hours to go drive to the off-road park, get all these shots, drive home, clean up, and pick up the kids. Didn’t have time to air down, as this wasn’t a wheeling trip. The jack fits perfectly fine with rigs on 35s and less so I don’t see how in the world 40s aired down would matter.

Believe me I tried and I blew the seals out of mine lol. But I agree they could make a lighter duty one for the jeep crowd. Lighter duty with a taller lift. Trade off lift capacity for lift height
