Its a good idea if youre making something thats going to vibrate to either use lock washers or nylock nuts, that way your casters wont be working their way loose. Another tip is when you angle-grind your bolts if you forget to include your nut before you start cutting just use diagonal cutters or linemans pliers to trace along the threads and that way if you have a little nugget thread you can snip it off as you get to the end. Also, if you want something softer than gym nut fog collector mat you can always use carpet remnants but be careful around nasty liquids and/or metal shavings so you dont poke yourself.

I followed your video and built a beautiful creeper. Excellent job guys! I had everything I needed laying around, mostly recycled; so it literally cost me nothing. Also it reminds me of my old wooden craftsman creeper from when I first started out turning wrenches. I never liked the metal creepers, the wood is softer. Btw the bells and whistles are not practical and the second creeper video is, well you should be embarrassed. I wish I could attach a photo of the fine creeper I have built though. Trust me, its nice. Thanks again.

Guys, guys. I love you, but. you can buy these new for 30. At least you can here in the States At least you can without all the fun stuff. We love the fun stuff though. And Moog, you hung the weight bearing part of the creeper under the support beams with the casters. So your weight on the creeper is always trying to pull the creeper apart. But the cool options are great and it was fun to watch the DIY so who cares. I think you two should toss more DIY projects together once in a while.

i forget how expensive Australia is sometimes you can pick up awesome creepers in the states for 10-20 bucks and then mod those. i had a folding one that was a suspension backed(think hammock) for 20 bucks at the parts store and the tool shop has the blue one here for 10 bucks. Australia is an expensive spider web lmao

Hi there, i would like to request you guys to stance up a suv or mpv and make a video out of the process like what you did with the volkswagen polo years back. That would be interesting.
Just a request from a fellow that has been following up with you guys for 5 years.
Cheers!

You can also use closed-cell foam camping pads or yoga pads (which can be gotten in several different thicknesses.
Love the lights and magstrip - I might have to add those to my bought creeper.
But you ARE going to weld up one out of 25mm tubing next, right?

I'm just curious on why you guys never do any cars to run on full race gas like VP or anything like that, is that stuff not legal on the streets there or is it harder to get, or is it just a lot more involved than what you want to do on mcm, I love your videos

Seems like you guys are running out of content, since we are now used to 12 part epic adventures of conversions n stuff, and I really hope to see that beard growing out of the octopuses anus next time I see a goat pic

Cheaper to go to work for an hour and just buy one from supercheap lol, in saying that there's that satisfaction of making something yourself from scratch that you just cant get from buying something =)
