Topside Mechanic Creeper

[Imabass]

I am in need of a topside creeper. It is amazing how much easier it was to reach the spark plugs on the back of the V10 engine with the topside creeper.

I was thinking about building one that is just way over the top but I really needed to get some maintenance done. I came up with this idea with a few 2x4’s and about 5’ scrap 2x12 and a 13’ multiladder that I had.

I set the ladder to where the legs made a 90* angle to the floor. I drilled some holes in the bottom of the ladder legs to attach 2x4’s for stability. I set the 2x12 across the top steps and made a support that rests on a step. I also drilled some small holes in the top step to screw the 2x12 to the top step of the ladder. I then used a ratchet strap as a safety in case the screws were inadequate. This was quick and dirty and improvised in about 30 minutes.
