Hey North Carolina members....anyone have a topside creeper?

Hoping to find a NC member who has a topside creeper near me who would be willing to rent it. I need one for my turbo rebuild and don't have the room to store one long term.
Thanks

have you ever used one of those , if i had one you could borrow it , those things are aweful to work off of though

I've never used one, it just looked like it would make working on the back of the engine easier. I thought about buying one but my shop is so full now, I don't have anywhere to store it.

every guy here has tried one and hated it , it get you to high d its not even comfortable and it wants to move under you like a creeper does when your trying to work , thats just my 2 cents

Hmmmmmm. Thanks for the info, I'm glad I didn't order one now. How do you guys work on the turbo area, just kneel in the engine compartment?

i have a stool thats about 1 foot and 1/2 tal, and just lean in and sorta lay on top the engine

I have one. I love it. I would'nt attempt to work on top of my engine with out it. It has wheel locks so it wont move around and it does'nt. Just replaced my dads turbo with it. PRICELESS......

like i said before thats just my two cents , i just dont know any body that likes em thats all

Well, I dont have one but I can give you my opinion. I dont like them. My last dealer spent $550 on one and we used it for our radio stand. Reason being your feet end up being higher then your head and you cant get close enough to the rear of the motor to do any good. Its a lot easier just to lay across the grill and radiator. It doesnt take but a little bit to pull the turbo anyway even if its your first time. Like I said its my opinion but there not that good.
