Northern Auto Parts: - R.E.L - Topside Creeper

I saw the techs were using these to intstall the Bulletproof oil cooler in the latest issue of Diesel World. I gotta get or make one of these.

 

alot of money for a ladder on wheels. for a mechanic it would probly be great

 

I have one and love it. Saves me from hurting for 2-3 days after doing injectors on a duramax :-)

 

I have one and hate it.

 

I built one and love it.

 

Here's a good price on one, I just recieved mine so I will be putting it together this weekend. I am getting ready to change out my egr cooler and some other items so I am looking forward to using it.

KT Performance

 

I did my EGR cooler delete and oil cooler replacement with a short stepladder (2 steps) and a blanket. I like the idea of a topside creeper, but I'd want to know why Cheezit hates his before spending even that much on one. I have read elsewhere that having to lay on top and reach down can be quite uncomfortable.

 

no my biggist issue is every truck in the state of texas seems to have a cattle guard of somekind on it, they dont seem to work to well with them. and they take up a lot of room.

 

Well I have the room and no cattle guard. If I lived in Montana(deer) or Texas I probably would tho.

 

I bought this one. It does look to be built a bit weaker than the other brand but it holds my weight just fine. I weight 210 lbs. I also had to add additional padding because it hardly had any.

Champ 4020 Overhead Creeper

 

Slightly off subject, but I'll probably never see a thread this close to what I want to talk about. I turned a 5 gallon plastic bucket upside down,and sheet metal screwed it to a heavy potted plant dolly ( also plastic, 5 casters, heavy duty and 16" inches diameter) . With an old patio chair cushion on the top, it makes a great scoot around, sit down creeper for working on the exterior of what ever vehicle. working on wheels, brakes, waxing etc. Seat height is 20" from the floor. I know they make something like this, but mine was almost free. When the knees go bad, it hurts to get down and back up off the deck a bunch of times. No picture, I dont have the right to send pics yet dd. re the topside creeper, sounds nice, but I'll make do with the kitchen stepstool. It and a blanket works for me. dd

 

I purchased a topside creaper after doing up-pipes on my father's OBS because my back hurt for a week. I did up-pipes on another OBS last weekend and I feel great. I feel I got my money's worth after 1 use!

 

best way I have found to replace those pipes is to just pull the trans.
