Top Side Creeper
@FordTruckNoob has been gracious enough to lend me his previously, and seeing I have some topside work coming up I think it might be time to either build or buy.
I might be ok with fabbing something up too.
Recommendations?

I will admit I sometimes wish I had gone with the Pro model for the improved clearance of its legs around tires.

About the only time I need mine is when I have to pull the turbo. I'm always afraid of breaking off something plastic when I'm laying across the engine and then have more expenses to deal with.

my biggest complaint is the pad is lacking in denseness and the covering also started tearing. I have gorilla tape on the tear now.
The frame corners on either side of the pad catch me and my clothes.
i also wish it would extend back another 6” or so.
yes that's what she said.

wonder how useful a unit that plugs into the front hitch receiver would be? I have a vision of a 3" pipe with ball bearings in the bottom with a 2" pipe inside it and the side walls filled with 1/2" ball bearings to make it swivel. it seems that with a few sliding pipes and a creeper sized pad that I could probably fab this up myself. will have to swing by the steel shop next weekend to see what i can gin up.
