Harbor Freight badlands jack mount

[Mysilvstang]

Saw a video about this box so i ordered one, it fits behind the rear seat in a 2 door. It has room for other equipment such as shackles and snatch blocks etc. The jack fits perfect in it. Plus it has wheels on one end to help move it to and from the vehicle

Agreed with this. In addition since I’m lifted I also bought the safe jack extensions and pads. You can buy the whole kit from safe jack or save a few bucks buying the bottle jack from Amazon.

I'm not sure I agree with you or any of the bottle jack comments. I have the Safe Jack, which is terribly expensive for what it is, and now I own the Badlands. I bought it after trying to use the Safejack on my rig on the pavement in front of my house. Even with the extensions that thing is a PITA at best. It has so little throw, lifting range, that its basically useless unless you carry around several wood wedge blocks to get it perfectly set. Just think about how you might get positioned on the trail when you need a jack. Where you can actually lift on the Bronco and what to what the dirt, gravel, sand, grass or whatever is underneath.
Like it or to the ease of use of the Badlands is just superior. Its footprint is way more stable and It'll get that rig lifted in almost any situation regardless of the terrain. But it is big and heavy.

My plan for a jack to test in the future will be the TPS Off Road Inflatable Jack (4 Ton).
Easy to transport but most important, there's 2 ways to inflate: first, connecting the 20-feet hose to an exhaust pipe, you can easily inflate the jack with car exhaust; Second, you can use air compressor to inflate it

Won't be to much different with the badlands rolling jack. You will need to be on flat surface.
The only one that will work in the rock area is the "chin breaker" farm jack.

The off-road jack comes with a mat (my guess will be heavy duty). If that's not the case, a can get or make one for a few bucks.

Around here I've seen more than one of the hardcore off-roaders mounting hi-lift jacks in place of rear bumpers on fabbed mounts.

Do you have a link to this box? Is it the 108qt one?

Do not have a jack, never been in the position to need it off-road, but If I was going to get one, the Badland Jack is what I would end up with. If your stock, is at stock height, maybe the scissor jack or a bottle jack works. If you're modded, sitting on 37's, those jacks may not be any help at all, never mind the stability part.

Call me lazy, but a floor jack is what I would want to use. These jacks are like insurance. You don't need it UNTIL you need it. Hell even in a mall lot.

I already have the rear seats removed from my 2-door. This thing is big, bulky, heavy, and rattles like an SOB everyday. I'm not sure I want to keep it in my rig anymore.

Should be dead easy to add some rubber strips to reduce the noise.

Oh, I've already done all that and more. I keep a blanket over the top of it as well now. It is just an endless rattle source.

I don't see anything in your pictures.

Here's where I would start.

That picture was from initial installation, Day 1. Everything you have an arrow pointing at is now covered.

The rattles can be attributed to the jack itself. The axles? The plastic wheels? The sloppy bushings? The adapter stand? Anything and everything about the jack just rattles. Hopefully you can understand.
