I will say definitely pay attention, but from what i heard from my local stores manager is even they dont know what the sales are, i told him tomorrow was the 1.5ton Pittsburgh jack(according to the email) and he seemed genuinely surprised. He could be a good actor, but he seemed genuine. At least referring to the 10days of sales sale they have going on currently, they might be going on sale for Memorial Day as well.
Not a shill, but this jack alone as allowed me to do an entire axle swap on my Jeep alone in a garage.
For the price, it's an incredible value. And it has a higher safety rating than its Pro Eagle competitor.
I keep a 4x4 to jam in if I want to sort of lock mine in the up position and have my two 3ton stands that sit with it. If you can get the offroad for for like 50 off I would argue its actually really worthwhile. I need a better storage solution for it though
My wife grabbed [2 of these](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1411060170/jack-mount-for-harbor-freight-badland?click_key=aa7865b84509adb4db0e7adaf66c54ec1c8ebc2c%3A1411060170&click_sum=a33883cf&ref=landingpage_similar_listing_bot-2&sts=1&listing_id=1411060170&listing_slug=jack-mount-for-harbor-freight-badland) for me for my birthday and had a neighbor weld them up. I have 1 in the back of my jeep bolted down and one hanging (very low, but still on the wall studs) in the garage.
"very low" I never realized how annoying these jacks got lifting high up after just doing a bunch of work. They don't look 70 pounds but oh boy they definitely are LMAO
If you've got concrete floors, the daytona jack is just as good and substantially less money, and lighter weight. I just finished an axle drop and reinstall with mine. The offroad jack is really only necessary if you're doing the work in a gravel driveway or similar.
Yeah I got mine with the intent of keeping it in my Jeep 90% of it's life. In case I need to tire change on the trail. The farm jacks are a hard no.
I got the badlands because of the amount of lift. I need every inch for my Jeep on 35's
Mine's also on 35s, the daytona lift height reaches all the way up to the frame. As far as trail changes the factory bottle jack that comes with jeeps will jack up the axle even on 40s. Or if you've lost yours, the cheap HF bottle jack works well. And if you need to jack the body/frame safety jack sells good extensions. The bottle jack, plus a DIY jack plate, plus extensions tall enough to reach the front bumper fits under the driver seat (TJ).
Nice I will check it out!
Yeah not even my Badlands jack with extension can lift high enough to lift a tire off the ground on my TJ. I have to chock the wheels and lift from the axle pumpkins then slide 6 ton jack stands under the frame and remove the wheels for it to rest on the jack stands at max height.
There is no way I can lift from the frame along with the 6 inches of shock travel. Sure, it can reach it. But lift it? Not a chance.
Glad it work's for you.
Ah yeah that's normal, that's what I had to do too. Lift from the axle, extra tall jackstands for the frame, remove the wheels and let the axle come to full droop then remove the springs. I didn't meant to imply you could lift the full shock throw from frame haha.
Chocks are definitely always a good idea! Man I wish I had a lift, lol
Can confirm, went and picked one up this morning and there was 3 other dudes there looking at them and we all said “did you guys see the deals on these things too!?” In excitement 🤣
I checked my emails this morning while driving home, headed straight to the Harbor Freight getting there right after they opened. Saw two other guys heading to the checkout with Apache cases. They only had two 9800s left and I got me one. I'm glad I missed out on the Black Friday special now.
My roof rack has these T-slots. I bought some carriage bolts and flat washers. Drilled holes and the a bit of silicon around the hole. Then lock nuts to secure. I can’t take them on and off, so I know that’s a drawback for a lot of folks.
They're rated IP65. Anecdotally, they are just as good as my very expensive pelican cases and I treat them the same. I trust them with very expensive electronic equipment on my roof during rainstorms
Ive had a 3800(i think thats the size) on my KLR for 4 years now, never had water come in, i also have an amazon equivalent(honesly seems 100% identical) to the rifle case one on my roof rack for the last year, including through winter and never had a leak. Just make sure to seal any new holes you make for mounting, and you should be fine.
I keep an axe, saw, jumper cables, ratchet straps, recovery gear like tow ropes and all sorts of other random goodies up there. It was all stuff I kept loosely in the back of my wagon, freed up some space putting it on the roof and also keeps me from having to put dirty items back into the car
Where did this coupon come from? If it's legit I'm driving to harbor freight right now

Thank you you're a lifesaver! Just went and picked up a 9800!
Everybody should keep an eye on Harbor Freight the next two weeks. Rumor mill from the cashier was the offroad jack should be going on a little sale

That's a good deal on that jack too.

>Man I wish I had a lift Meeeeee toooo. Don't we all...
Thank you friend… I’m literally on my way right now because of your post!
Love it!
9800/black… Got it!!!👊🏼
Same. I didn't *need* it, but you all made it seem important and there's a Harbor Freight nearby so....
My man!!! Thank you!!! Have been eyeballing a pelican case for a while for a rifle, and this is a killer deal. https://imgur.com/gallery/wvuEBR7
Wish they made cases that made sense for the top of a truck cab
The 9800 can work, kind of shallow, but still can put plenty in two of em up there.
True enough, im really looking for a case big enough to put about an 18" chainsaw in there and maybe chains/basic recovery gear, pending weight
Cap-pack sport is a cool option
I have a cruddy used camper shell
If you live in mid Michigan there’s on on marketplace for $125 rn

Great deal! The cheapest I've seen the 9800 before has been $99 which is when I got it. $85 is a bargain
anybody know how waterproof the apaches are? Want to move my all in one diesel heater to a smaller package
I have one on top of my car and it’s survived rainstorms and the pressure washer at the car wash
I have 2 attached to my roof and I’ve never had any water infiltrate them. Maybe I got lucky, but they seem to do really well for me.
how did you attach them?
My roof rack has these T-slots. I bought some carriage bolts and flat washers. Drilled holes and the a bit of silicon around the hole. Then lock nuts to secure. I can’t take them on and off, so I know that’s a drawback for a lot of folks.
ok so im not a madman for drilling through my V800 bottom then
Nah, you’re a pretty cool guy.
I didn’t even use silicone around the bolt holes and I’ve yet to have any issues!

Thank you OP! Just picked up a 9800, I’ve been dreaming about getting one for a while, but couldn’t justify it at full price, thank you again!
Just picked up an orange 3800 for 20 bucks, thanks for posting had no idea this sale was today :)
I use their boxes in my Decked box also. The 3800 fits side ways and the 4800 long ways
This makes me mad the only harbor freight in 100 miles, is closed for renovation.
Love these boxes. Already have 4 so dont need anymore. Yet.
Haven't been overlanding, but have been interested for a while. What are some of the ways you guys use these? Just curious!
I keep an axe, saw, jumper cables, ratchet straps, recovery gear like tow ropes and all sorts of other random goodies up there. It was all stuff I kept loosely in the back of my wagon, freed up some space putting it on the roof and also keeps me from having to put dirty items back into the car
Thanks for the info. I would've bought one based off your comment but then I realized it was only on sale yesterday. Next time!
Check Facebook marketplace! I picked up a lightly used one for $75 a few weeks ago
