kellyf Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 HAS ANYONE USED THE TOPSIDE CREEPER AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 One tech at work has one and uses it constantly.... I think he's mentioned a couple of things he'd like to change about it (old man memory thing) but not bad enough for him to actually spend time doing them. I would say that he is very happy he bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 For a starter, you can read THIS THREAD which started talking about replacing injectors but ended with a lengthy discussion on the Topside Creeper. There are some good comments and info on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Welcome to the DTS!!! Glad you like the site. I remember this topic and I was considering buying one of these topside creepers... but I just don't know if I really need another piece of equipment around... but I am still interested.

Shlep Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 We just got the Matco version and truthfully I'm not impressed with it as much as the Topside, the Matco one looks cheap but as soon as the next 6.0 comes in I'll try her out and let ya all know how it works.

I have "my spots" on 6.0L's that im comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysonfordtech Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have used one for years. I would not live without it! I also needed to overhaul the cushion due to use, one warranty return leather seat back cover, one seat bottom cushion also a warranty return, and a pile of hogrings and you have one deluxe topside creeper. The use of pipe foam is needed to protect the truck from damage however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Kaylor Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 That does not look comfortable. they actually are quite comfortable. much better than the set of pallets i nailed together to make one a few years ago, and much safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered it at 3:00 PM and was at my house before noon the next day. I haven't had time to put it together and try it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
