padded mat
I'm looking for a padded mat to throw under the truck to work on it. I've seen them, they fold in half for starage and when unfolded that are about the size of a creeper. Anyone know where to get one?

I've never seen one. I use an old moving blanket or a piece of cardboard.

If you're going to buy a creeper, buy one of these. I've used them and they are so superior to the cheaper ones it isn't funny

The Bone-ster can be had for around $50 and is worth every penny. On a SD truck, you can do a lot with a creeper and no jacks.

also, consider some moving blankets, they are soft and are perfect for that application because you can roll it up orfold it up ad put in toolbox

A piece of old carpet works just great and is a heck of a lot cheaper than a specialty item.
It might be my imagination, but if you use something new and expensive it acts as an oil magnet or causes you to fumble an oil filter creating a mess. If you use something that is destined for the trash anyhow it seems to last longer.
