Roadside creeper

Wheels on the cement of my garage my truck, with the Nerf Bars is to low for a creeper. Hate to do the cardboard roll on my old elbows, shoulders and knee. I just keep a piece of 3/4" thick styrofoam wall insulation around. It's pretty durable and covered witha light film. A piece 4' x 8' cut in half will last me about a year. It's only $7 bucks at Home Depot. I keep a 4' piece of it under my bed cap. If I am curious about something under my truck I just throw it down on the pavement and roll under there without getting pebbles up my kiester.

That sounds like it would work great. I've been using a peice of simulated woodgrain wall panneling under my 250, smooth side up. Just grab a peice of frame and easily pull myself anywhere under the truck.
