Safe Jack: Offroad/Overland Jack Review

Great jack, recently had to change a tire and dreaded using the bottle jack that came with the truck. This looks like the perfect solution.

It's good gear, but rediculously over-priced for what you get. I'll make my own.

Solid Information.

What about on a hard surface eg sealed road.

Thanks man.... I've got an "in-the-works" Adventure Van... a 2018 Fort Transit 250 HR EXT RWD. Not an ideal off road vehicle for many reasons, but we are taking it to all sorts of places where, if we flat out, we are... hosed. Gravel and dirt etc. and winter travel in NH would make the standard bottle jack is just cringy. I've been looking at these and was on the fence. Not after watching this. Their sponsorship of y'all's trip was a good investment on their part... I'm in. SAfe travels.

You gained space but theres too many parts that can be lost

It's just a shame they want people to be safe but they want to charge you an arm and a leg for you to be safe

Have you tried the lcp adapter plate that's similar? I think I'm going to get that

Now let the air out of the tire and try it. I don't think you will be able to get that jack and plate low enough to get under the axle

Last thing any one needs is the rig falling off the jack, like that plate and the bracket for the axle a lot.

I need one of these a lot easier than the handyman jack with only one hand

Great review, I’m considering one of these for my FJ40 which is very short on storage space. I just want to be able to change a tire and hi-lifts seem like a big PITA for that. Thanks!

Is there any advantage that the metal baseplate has over the ubiquitous big orange plastic square baseplates that are frequently purchased with high-lifts? I already own that thick plastic base plate. I’m trying to figure if purchasing the metal sled baseplate shown in this video would be worth while for use with a smart jack. Application would be in sand dunes, rocky dried out river beds, and lava fields with sharp rocks.

Great content by the way! Seems you avoid overlap of content with other channels and provide some really useful info I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Been using a 4 tonne bottle jack on the Ford RTV for sometime and gotta find some one who sells these kits, safety first hey.

Nicely done, thorough review! What a great concept - wish we had thought of it first! This brand of jack is definitely on our short list of future purchases! (We have bottle and hi-lift jacks - really like that Safe Jack has come out with this off-road focused product.)

I own a 2019 raptor and am looking for a beefy jack. How well do you recommend the pro eagle 2 ton big wheel

Just bought “The General “ 🤘🏼

Love the robustness of the product, but just a tip for any jack. Verify that it fits and is operable when the tire is fully FLAT. Stuff gets a lot closer to the ground! :)

Lately this is buffering constantly

Great review..thanks for this!

Rad!

Been eyeing these for a few years now but could never find any videos or reviews besides the company's. Good to see someone else review it (even if they did get it for free).

Is it made in usa by chance?

Very interesting product, thanks for putting this on my radar. In regards to eliminating the hi-lift, do you carry another solution to a backup hand-operated winch?
