DaBlist Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Any suggestions on a heavy duty creeper?the yard I work at is like working at a junk yard. Dirt n grAvel with a few good sized rocks hear n there so wheels always fall off or bend.got the plastic harbor frieght one like a month ago been lovin it because it super low so it helps to slide over the rocks but its hollow plastic and Wheel just came off On sale those are HF's are pretty cheap, maybe just keep buying those or build a steel perimeter frame with heavy duty casters to mount your HF one on but good casters will cost more than a new HF one probably 1 Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was thinking about something similar but I was thinking inflatable wheels.my biggest thing though is I have to still be able to slide under the axles of trailers and be able to get under a truck which is getting harder because of all of the fucking plastics they put now Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 There is a creeper company called The Bone. They make a heavy duty one. I've used the regular one. It is low profile. 2 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 DAMN!!! Tree fell on my fence today from my neighbors yard. Took out a couple of poles and generally occupied some of the yard. I was thinking I knew what I was doing this weekend kinda annoyed that I wasn't even expecting neighbors to deal with it these days... (Tree was out well out where they took care of the jungle). But about ten minutes later he had his workers from the farm swarming with chainsaws and non la. Tree cut up and off my lawn. Fixing my fence this weekend. STOKED!! Mike. Your Canadienne neighbors suck... Sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Ordered a bunch of 720 front end suspension/steering parts from rockauto on wednesday. Chose the cheapest ground shipping (~$32 on ~$303 worth of parts), and they were shipping through 3 different carriers from 4 different warehouses. Two packages were sent Fedex priority overnight...??? Uh, okay, thanks :D Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 If you are doing the front bushing on the lower control arm, prepare for a terrible adventure. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 If you are doing the front bushing on the lower control arm, prepare for a terrible adventure. Eventually, yeah. Got a whole 720 front suspension clip...plan is to graft whatever necessary to my 521 rather than fart around with different arms, etc Quote Link to comment
