I’m gathering tools to do as much of my own work as I can.

I’m really enjoying both the sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that it’s done right.

It had been a long time since I worked on my rig. Forgot how satisfying it can be.

Tired of squirming around on my back on the driveway though.

Y’all steered me straight on torque wrench and floor jack.

Any recommendations for a creeper?

Price matters some, but I ain’t cheap.

I want a good one.

Harbor Freight. I’ve used mine for years. No complaints.

Now that I think about it, I can use one as well. All this time I've grown accustomed to lying down on a blanket underneath & squirming my way out.

Thank you, for showing me the light and error of my ways.

The opening was there & I blew it... I shoud have recommended a white panel van, or dark clothing.

Plain and simple...

I use a padded shooting mat, doesn't shoot off down the driveway with all your tools when you get up. And, on a personal note I have shaggy hair. I decided to try out a creeper when installing my lift. That moment when you go to lift your head up and realize your hair is completely wrapped around a creeper wheel completely sucks

Geez.. you don't have luck with these, do you? I have a long, flowing mane of hair (yes, I said "flowing mane") & I always wrap it up in a bandana anytime I get under it. But that won't stop my tools from rolling off.

Yea, I had to get my wife to help me get this 40lb creeper off the back of my head, i'll never laugh at her for slamming her hair in a car door and walking away again.

“A long flowing mane of hair” eh?

You’re really Fabio, right?

Just slumming with the little people?

Thanks!
