WTB Creeper

I need to pick up a creeper with at least 6 wheels. Tank tracks would be OK I guess but would prefer wheels and tires. Tires need to be an agresive mud tread. I don't like Goodyear but for the right price I suppose I could settle.

This is the closest thing I know of: http://bonecreeper.com/roughrider.html

Good luck.

Thanks. The problem I'm finding with that one is there is nothing listed for it on ARB's site. I haven't checked OX yet, though. I suppose OX would be a better way to go since I wouldn't have to mount a compressor on it. I'd like to keep it light enough to carry it around the JY with me.

If you're concerned with weight, definitely invest in a synthetic winch line instead of steel. Plus it'll be safer if the line should snap while under load. Like if there's a fat guy on the creeper.

To maintain a low center of gravity and good ground clearance you might have to go with portal axles.

Well, that is easy.

Just take small can of ball bearings along with you. Throw them on the ground and roll around on them. Collect them all with a magnet when you are finished.

HTH.

I have a metal detector, which is great for finding those pesky frames when attempting to jack a vehicle up.

Good thinking. If I go with something like a Milemarker hydraulic unit I won't have to load the thing down with batteries.

Get one with the optional hatch-blankie release and set yourself up as a mobile repair business. There is a killing to be made right there.

Great Scott, I think you're on to something there!

I think he was referring to you stumbling into peoples tent in the middle of the night at SCF

I was doing safety checks. Never can be too careful!

Funny, I saw the title for this thread, and could think of nothing but Skwerly.
