Topside Creeper

Anyone have one of these Topside Creeper? I have seen similar before all homemade.
With our little trucks this would be a godsend time after time.
Traxion seems to be the main brand, but $300 is about the going price.

Looks a little easier on the ribs than a core support/alternator :D

I've seen those posted over on DF a couple times, too. Definitely a good idea, hard $ to swallow though.

I looked at them when I pulled that junk off my truck. I was too tight to spend the money. My back and ribs would have probably thanked me if I had spent the extra money.

I used to just throw a creeper on top of the engine, but these are most valuable when doing major work on trucks...like head gaskets and such.
JR, it wasn't a folder, I just left some bolts out and use carabineers in their place. I welded 2 angle iron pieces to the shop wall to hang it on (conex=steel walls) but had to relocate for the lathe install.
