Topside Creeper

I know quite a few people here work on their own, or others vehicles (some professionally even). I've had the Topside Creeper for a month now and it is hands down the BEST tool I've bought in a long time. Easy to reach 3rd gen fuel filter. Give me the angle to change a 24 valve cam sensor in 3 to 5 minutes. Great for getting at lift pumps and changing injection pumps. Best part...NO sore knees, no bent condensor fins. I would seriously think about getting one if you find yourself "wrenching" professionally or quite often at home.

I use an old milk crate. Just the right height, if you are 6'1".

That would be the one Shovelhead. Adjusts WAY high, plus the legs on the "A" adjust to bend the pad from the position shown, to a tilted down position. Changed the fuel filter on a 3rd gen with a 6" lift yesterday. Made life really easy on that one!

Looks like quite a rig. But a five gallon pale of oil is cheaper and comes with oil.

I used a 2-step ladder when I changed out the lift pump. Can't repeat all the expletives I spouted every time I leaned into the engine compartment and the stupid thing shot out from under me leaving me dangling in the air !!

I would've loved to have on of these topside deals.
