Title made me think it was catfish. instead, was a terrible argument with over confidence, complete nonsense. I need to buy the off-road jack just to go against this idiotic video. Also this video shouldn’t be considered as unpopular opinion, it’s just someone looking for excuses to whine. The jack is a simple innovation of an already commonly used shop jack. imo, the Badland Jack wins all around. Bulky and pricey tool, but worth it, you don’t skim on recovery gear. Soon to be moms, don’t forget take your folic acid.

Your title, should have said GEN 2 Toyotas have problems at 200,000 miles..a lot of stuff has been fixed/addressed by manufacturer by the next gen..

I almost bought these for my 2012 tacoma but after watching another video showing how poorly made these are, I went with superior suspension brackets and shackles, a better peace of mind 👍🏽😎

I have a 2012 TRD sport 4x4 double cab in manual with some tasteful mods, I'm regreasing the pulleys this weekend it's been chirping for awhile and it's annoying 😖😖

Dumbass weakling

Fluid film or woolwax your frame!!

Gret vid, bros. Love it.

Adding a roof rack could help if the front of the rack had a deflector of some sort.

yeah with something that size you definitely need proper ventilation, not just for yourself but for the batteries too. Also consider getting a CO Monitor for it too at some point.

How in the crap does 70 lb. be bad for fuel economy or wear and tear on anything? Where did he get his facts?

Thanks for sharing. Is that air line you're using, red, some sort of poly as it doesn't look as stiff as nylon airbrake line but definitely isnt rubber?

Those brackets work better if painted red

Great video homie.

What a wimpy cuck lol

This video is full of absolute nonsense, recommending a high lift jack in 2024 says it all. Get out to KOH and events and see what’s really going on out there… Off-road jacks work great.

BUY SOME AXLE STANDS!!! Never get under any vehicle being held-up by just a jack - that's as potentially lethal as it is dumb.

This is a businesse’s product. That they employ people to design and manufacture. And you rubbish it in your title and claim a huge design flaw. And admit that’s for clicks and that it doesn’t have a huge design flaw? What a prick. Disgusting.

As a full-time nomad traveler who boondock 90% in the desert only accessible thru unpaved, gavel, and rocky roads, this one would have been very handy all those 6 years on the road. I just bought mine yesterday and i'm sure it will be very handy as I have already destroyed 2 floor jacks(pain in the desert with the tiny wheels mainly for pavements only). This badland off-road will allow me to lift both dually wheels of my Ram 3500 diesel and 31 feet 9,000lbs travel trailer to change tires or make repairs just by jacking up via axle.

I carry a floor jack because I travel for work and live on the road out of our camper. These off road jacks are great for dirt, gravel and other non typical terrain that I end up doing repair work on. They have their usefulness.

I just learned algebra again. Between you and this old tony, i dont feel as stupid vs me at 15.

Definitely a marine

Colder air is more dense - ground breaking discovery! You must think the people watching your videos are morons "molecular level, I know its a big word but stay with me" - yes self proclaimed science genius, us morons will try to keep up.

What is your definition of the word "huge"?

FAITH in the jack and lego-wood stack!

Awesome video! Looking forward to seeing the flatbed finished. I have a flatbed drawn up in Solidworks, but I keep avoiding the work. HAHA

It's not a trend... It's much more convenient to move through a shop and through the driveway... If I get a flat tire I got something more off road.

Deamon brackets are for nothing more than hanging dangly bits. That’s what I have em for. Factory bracket for recovery.

You should show yourself being towed with it. Instead of beating otnto death. Most people just want the looks and moderate towing. Does ot work to tow with or not?

11:41 that was smooth lmfao. Ordered some 15 minutes before, cancelled right after this vid thanks!

Agreed

I agree with your points. They make sense. I read comments of good use cases, like at home with cracked concrete or gravel etc - basically not a smooth hard surface. The size and the weight are really strong arguments for not taking it off road 4WD, like over landing etc. It could make sense with one in a group to share it. Or just a day trip where for some reason you are going to be jacking but not camping etc.

Thanks for the info. I think people only put them on because of how they look. I don't really care how something looks it needs to work every time. Guaranteed people are pulling them off after your sledge hammer test.

Hate to say it but 70 lbs is not breaking a vehicle

It’s not a design flaw buddy. Hot air creates higher pressure. Warmer temps aren’t gonna even mess with it. And by the way it wasn’t more interesting than a physics class and you should really think before you make a lame video

I would talk to Toyota USA and see if they will warranty that frame even with you being a few month past the deadline. I think Toyota USA is reasonable and will work with you.

These brackets are for show only. Dangly bits. I have them. Like them, but would only use the factory recovery bracket.

Off road Jack's definitely have their place. They fit under every vehicle that any member of my family owns. Can roll it out in the grass gravel and light mud and not have a problem. If the growd is a little soft and the wheels sink in, the skid plate bottom will take the weight and get the truck up . 70lbs is not the heavy for most guys to pick up and toss in the truck or the dirt. It's not made for when you brake down rock crawling or bogged down to your axels in mud. I keep mine in my truck and if I need to change a tire on the side of the road, in a field gravel parking lot it works way quicker and easier than a factory bottle jack with that little turn know that takes forever to get set up on the wood blocks. If you want to crawl around to set up the little bottle jack by all means, play in the mud day if you want lol.

Nice video but how are you mounting a hard shackle on the front. The ones you show are just for a receiver hitch. Thx

Ponderous.

Lol, I realize this video is a year old, but dude, I don't think people are taking these with them out on the trail for emergency use😆. They're for working on the truck in the back yard. The taller height is better for a lifted truck than a standard jack and a block of wood. You do most of your wheeling alone don't you?.

I have an ARB twin been using that hard for the last nine months. I haven’t run my ear link your bag suspensions my Kelderman suspension in my air seats in my Kodiac C4 500 I added a rough country twin this week as a backup to compare the two units. The rough country is half the cost of the ARB. From the cab, I can monitor both compresses and all the airbags

I drive 6-8K miles a year, so my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs has a Long way to go before I’ll be needing to replace anything. But I do know that I’ll need an install an “Add a Leaf” to the rear suspension because I tend to haul occasionally and the rear leaf springs are a weak spot.

Another subscriber here. 2014 TRD Sport, just Fluid Film on mine this weekend. My frame was stressed tested at Toyota, I’m good to go.

i carry both a floor jack and a bumper/high lift jack. the floor jack gets used more than the other these days and the factory jack hasn't been touched in years. I think I'll take my years of practical knowledge and experience over a kid who don't look like he can grow a mustache talking shit next to the first toyota he ever bought. I guess I bought a real vehicle so I didn't have to worry if "a few extra pounds from the jack" is going to break my vehicle. You might wanna take the jack out to carry around extra front end parts though so I get it.

Send in the fashion police, the hat looks like my aunt had a stroke.

2014 FJ, 226,000 miles. Basic maintenance. Haven’t even had to change a light bulb. Never had a check engine light on either. I believe it comes down to how much you respect your ride vs how much your willing to abuse it.

Disregard 80 percent if your truck has never touched a dirt road.

A real build would have high clearance DOM tube bumpers and a rack in the back with two spares and the Pro-eagle mount plate. I can get a spare put on in less time than it takes to get a stock jack out and have used the 3 ton kratos to lift stuck trucks axles out of the mud and on recovery boards. I saw a guy break a strap and suggested to just lift it up and put their boards under. They drove it out once on the boards. I have so much travel on my prerunner I have to use these jacks in the garage at home too.

I had a 2002 taco. In 2017 I had taken it in for a oil change. They put the truck on the lift and as they were lifting the truck the rear wheels never left the ground!,!!!😮. The frame cracked just at the bend where it goes over the rear tire. Sold the truck for scrap unfortunately complained to Toyota because I missed the 15 year cut off to have the frame replaced. They gave me a 1500 rebate if I bought a new truck. Which I did. Bought a 2017.

So your point is what? I gave my son my 2003 Tacoma Prerunner that I bought brand new and it has just under 200K miles with no issues. It's bone stock. Two years ago, I bought a used 2003 4Runner V8 4wd with 201K miles on it and now has 208K miles. It WAS bone stock at the time. Still no issues. Are you getting the picture?
