Badland (Harbor Freight) 3 Ton Offroad Jack (unboxing, testing and review)

I was one of the first people in the country to get my hands on the Badland 3 ton offroad jack. I love this thing so far, let me know what your thoughts are in the comments below!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

About time they made one. The Pittsburgh 3 ton jack I carry in my dually for my 40 foot trailer sucks to move in and out of my tool box because of the weight.

[@bobbylibertini]

I just picked one of these up last week. It is AWESOME!!! For someone like me, who works exclusively on gravel and grass, this is a game-changer...and saves SO much time and effort. Lifts my 7500 lb. Trucks with no problem. Wish I would've had this years ago.

[@BuyFixFlip]

I know man, every time I drag it out I think how much easier the last 10 years would have been with it!

[@dakotamcclure6165]

I'm a mobile mechanic and I think this would really help. Thanks for doing a video on it

[@treasurethetime2463]

Dude, you are the first reviewer I’ve seen who lifted the entire end of a vehicle in a review. Everybody else was just lifting a corner. It was so frustrating. Thanks for actually demonstrating the product and not just talking or reading the box.

[@BuyFixFlip]

Thanks for the comment man, I try!

[@m-rezaabazar-ghafari8757]

Thank you for your honest review, very few on you tube would be so natural and honest like you are. 🤔

[@BuyFixFlip]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@vanleermatt]

I picked one up today, the first thing I did was roll it through the yard This jack is awesome!

[@telosmonos_gustavo]

Solid review!!! After the assembly, which was very valuable to watch, you got straight to the point with the testing in conditions it was designed to work in. I'm sold!!!

[@Blend-24]

Yesterday 12/21/22 I went on line to buy one “not available on line” “in store only” Called every Harborfreight close to me within 100 miles. None in stock. Went to my local HF and talked to the manager who said we don’t have any in stock just keep checking. As I was walking out the manager called me back and said, “it’s on our presale list but you’ll have quite a wait” Mine’s coming in to my local HF on January 13th or so but it’s paid for and is MINE. Thanks for your video, now I am REALLY glad I got one coming.

[@BuyFixFlip]

I used it today to lift my 3500 with the plow on it to bleed the power steering. I love it. I threw it in the back of the truck because you just never know when you'll need it. I do know the skid plate it awesome it doesn't let it sink in the mud. Glad to hear you have one coming!

[@alaverga173]

I work at a harbor freight warehouse and and yeah man we haven't been shipping many out usually only 4 per store or less

[@rodcox1005]

Got mine yesterday at a small store, they must be getting some to all stores now. GREAT JACK!!!

[@Voyagersk9]

This is like the 3rd review I’ve seen and everyone likes this jack! You did a great job with your review! Nice jeep by the way! I’m sold!!

[@deepbludude4697]

Nice! Ive waited all my life for this! im 62 YO been wrenching on stuff since I was 14 the only time I ever had a flat smooth spot to work on stuff was when I was living at my parents home left when I was 17. Im getting this thing! last month i bought a HF folding engine hoist, fabbed some offroad wheels for it! cuz castors are no go anywhere at my shop...

[@wyateerp1]

Great video. Bought one for working on my 4x4 Tahoe (2006). Have the 1.5 HF jack that you have, but I can't hit the frame with it. So far really impressed.

[@user-gh6ee6fo7z]

Nice video and good product. Few days ago I bought this jack, very useful. But my another friend found and bought a similar one from China, I checked it, same feature and good quality. And the most importantly, they are almost a hundred dollars cheaper than Amazon

[@dannysanchez8375]

Good Luck Getting One, I was told Not Till May, I Pulled Trigger and Bought a Pro- Eagle And Mount And Cover

[@AJ-sb8qk]

Great great great review I've been searching for a good one. This is a great one good job man

[@Manandmachine772]

Looks and works awesome. Thanks for the honest review

[@ToddKirst]

Good Review and Video. I have the Pro Eagle 3 Ton and it does not have the Locking Mechanism. That is a brilliant feature on this Badland Jack! Harbor Freight definitely did a good job with this Floor Jack!

[@etmesi]

I love that Jack wanted one for a long time, but most are $500 to $600 to much money for me, I just use it to travel or in the garage not 4-wheeling. Being older it rolls more easily, I can pull it on my Mobility Scooter for Mechanics working on my old truck. The jack works great.

[@perrymahnke886]

Great review video & I like the test on the dually as well as the different terrain tests. I hope to buy one of these jacks for my Dodge 2500 with pop-up truck camper, if/when my local Harbor Freight store gets them in. Thank you for sharing your review & congratulations on being able to buy one.

[@BuyFixFlip]

Thank you sir, good luck on the hunt!

[@Alexs-wz7nj]

Amazing review bro!! Best video ever

[@groundzero6129]

Order my jack right before Christmas and was told 2 weeks, 2 weeks later was told the 27th of January. Went in on the 28th and now they say maybe the end of March. Hope you aren’t in a hurry if you order one of these.

[@ryevdee6064]

Appreciate you giving feedback on the worst-case-sand scenario! Thinking I gotta get one the only space I can work on my truck is a sandy area in FL haha

[@BuyFixFlip]

I lived in Florida for 7 years and that's what made me think, my Jack's would always sink.

[@nicklapierre5640]

Hoping to get my hands on one soon once they’re back in stock!

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

I love this jack!!

[@markkiger5219]

Nice video. Thanks for posting. I will be adding this to my list. I do wish it came with an axle saddle attachment like the Safe Jack.

[@BuyFixFlip]

That would be nice, I guess it could be easy to make with the round coupler up top. Over here giving me ideas!

[@toolsntruck941]

great review !

[@appleztooranges]

HF is having a tent sale for $249. Going to grab it I think over the Daytona

[@BuyFixFlip]

That's insane, I think I paid over 400. I still love this thing!

[@appleztooranges]

@@BuyFixFlip awesome. I’ll grab it. Can work on snowblowers with it too lol

[@hit757]

Let’s gooo good stuff man -hipity

[@ToledoDIY]

I’m definitely going to buy this for myself 👏💪🏼

[@BuyFixFlip]

You won't regret it!

[@dirkkelly9596]

That’s sick 👍👍

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I got to get me one of those!👍

[@StormLaker]

I need something like this for my pickup......it's an 'off road" edition F150, and most jacks do not lift the 33" wheels up off the ground high enough to easily remove them.....I usually end up using a piece of 4x4 wood to get up that high and a pair of 6 ton jack stands, haha.

[@saikyouabe]

Same dude! Saw it on Matt's channel, had no clue about it since I didn't follow SEMA launches

[@JoseSilva-je5dr]

That’s a nice s14 you have there

[@bobd.fletcherjr4912]

I really like that Jack wish they would have came out of with that a long time ago Bob Elkhart

[@curtwillis8107]

Nice! Wonder how it would do under the front of that Ram 3500 with the weight of the engine?

[@bobit8742]

i am going have to pick this up 😅. i am tired drag my jack through the grass

[@BuyFixFlip]

Same! The most annoying thing ever.

[@PTRRanger951]

The wheels are exactly the same brand as used on the PE.

[@paulkaufman4901]

I want one of these! Don't know if it will get inside of my jeep because it will take up so much space but, it WILL get used all the time working on my Jeeps, etc. around the garage.🙂

[@BuyFixFlip]

You can always make room

[@PDillz]

I want one so bad. Need to find the money to buy one. Probably going to be late to the sale price.

[@davidh1314]

Super cool. I just ordered one. Now I need some type of box to put it in so it wont roll around in the truck bed. Any ideas?

[@BuyFixFlip]

There's a couple people out there that make mounts for them. I would say maybe one of those military waterproof cases you can buy for cheap on facebook?

[@davidh1314]

@@BuyFixFlip great idea. Thanks

[@MW_Builds]

Just lift that jeep at the lower ball joint - compress the suspension and/or lift. Works every time.

[@armondhammer9]

i would recommend investing in a wheel chock

[@richardcz1954]

Great Job on Video I picked one up last Weekend. I haven't used mine yet watched your video just to see you use it.

[@randybaker9265]

Are the inside of the wheels metal or plastic?? It looks nice for harbor freight.. cause I think I've seen wheels like that at tractor supply that are metal on the inside but I think they had air tires on them not hard ones like that .

[@BuyFixFlip]

These are full composite wheels and tires, I know what wheels you're talking about at tractor supply. These are more durable imo, the seem like they will last!

[@EJHykel]

My question is how are you mounting it in the back of the jeep to secure it while out on the trails?

[@BuyFixFlip]

That's on my list, I'm going to mount it on the wheel well.

[@fltllc4136]

Look up grovefabworks. He has. Mount for it.

[@chrissraceporting7055]

I can't justify the shipping price to Australia. Plus the cost of the original Australia offroad jack was near 1k$ for plastic mounded wheels

[@bobd.fletcherjr4912]

I really like that jeep what year is it Bob Elkhart👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BuyFixFlip]

It's a 1952 m38, thanks Bob!

[@michaellauer3397]

Those wheel nuts do not torque to “bolt stretch”, hence the tiny stamped wrench and obvious lock nuts. Notice what the inner hub bearings stop against…

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

Go watch Randy's transmission rock crawl his Ram 3500 dually in Pritchett Canyon he did great.

[@BuyFixFlip]

Saw it the day it came out, that thing was working great, my luck the 68rfe would let go on the trail lol!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

@BuyFixFlip I have an Aisin in my dually, and just because it's a 4x4 doesn't mean I will take it offroad, LOL. It weighs 12,000 lbs, definitely a pavement princess, and will get stuck in its own shadow. I did have to use the 4wd last year in Hidden Falls offroad park to make it up a hill during the rain. Pulling the 40 footer with both Jeeps and gear, it didn't like the muddy park road.

[@brandondiehr9636]

What size rims on the Jeep Stock ?

[@BuyFixFlip]

15s and 32" utv tires!

[@brandondiehr9636]

Do you happen to know what the rims came off of How wide is the rim

[@BuyFixFlip]

They are stock 15" willys wheels

[@jerryclleung]

TBH, this looks like a modified 3 ton aluminum race jack of theirs

[@ES-zz5yj]

Don’t need grease they are sealed bearings.

"Good" review. Clear communication. But if you take your time to do such a nice review, take the time to get a tape measure and tell us the real height to compare it to this standard. Jack instead of just guessing. Also browse through the directions before prying out the plastic shipping block against the brand new paint you most likely just chipped. Otherwise nice review. I don't know how long those plastic wheels will last? The sound of you mounting them reminded me of my kids toy truck wheels

[@BuyFixFlip]

The plastic piece, was hard to get out, I cut out the part where I tried to get it out by hand and with force. There's another video where a guy bent the bar it went against trying to get it out. The wheels to me seem extremely well built. I assume that's what took them so long to make it, was engineering and sourcing wheels they could put a 3 ton weight limit on. The real height is 29 1/16th inches

[@77AbleArcher]

I watched to see the Jeep, haha. Couldn't care less about the cheap Chinese Jack.

[@ksdad2two]

Jack stands backups.

[@cvpiDOTnet]

7:28 Come on man, you insert the lift handle to pull down on it slightly to pull out the plastic block, not jam it out with a screw driver. (From manual) The Handle Socket will be held down by a plastic block under tension. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles before freeing Handle Socket. Hold Handle Socket down while removing block. After removal, carefully swing Handle Socket up until tension is released.

[@BuyFixFlip]

Well from trying that multiple times it didn't work. Watch the other guys video about it, his bent the metal bar it was so tight.

[@villagelightsmith4375]

Here's an easy fix. Add a couple more inches (or more) to the radius of every wheel on planet Earth and the world would be a better place.

[@johnkoenig496]

Light weight ??? B.S. !!!

[@BuyFixFlip]

Compared to most Jack's it's light. Compared to my lopro 3 ton floor jack it's about half of the weight and easy to carry especially being aluminum.
