That $99 Harbor Freight 1.5-ton aluminum jack (part #64545) is already stupid light and cheap. Now make it actually work off-road without sinking, tipping, or getting buried in mud.
What This Kit Does
- Bolt-on flat belly skid plate – gives the jack a wide, stable footprint in sand, snow, mud, or dirt
- MOLLE-ready mount with pre-welded 3/8" nuts – bolts straight to any MOLLE panel, bed rack, or tailgate swing-out
- Installs in minutes – no need to fully disassemble the jack
- Optional wing bolts – tool-free removal in seconds
- Works perfectly with our new Internal Tailgate Swing-Out and Universal Tire Carrier Bed Rack (MOLLE edition)

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to buy the Harbor Freight jack from you?
Nope — just grab it locally or online (part #64545). We only sell the mod & mount.
Will it still fit in the factory jack location?
Yes — the skid adds almost no height and the mount can face inward.
Can I run it without the wing bolts?
Absolutely — regular 3/8" bolts included. Wing bolts are optional for tool-free life.
Lead time & shipping?
1–2 weeks fabrication + FREE shipping anywhere in the continental US.
Does it really not sink?
Ask the guys who’ve already run it in Moab sand, Johnson Valley dust, and Pacific Northwest mud it floats.
