Tow hooks or Bumper holes?

[Pruittx2]

So which is it? What do you stand on when you work in the engine compartment?

Holes! Somebody stole my hooks...

 

[Paveltolz]

I thought that was what the holes were originally designed for...the one thing the bean counters agreed on cause there's less material and they could charge the same for them...Although I am tempted to add the non-slip surfacing stick on pads to help.

Hooks would be too precarious & slippery.

The holes, I get a better foothold there than any other place. Often the hole is the first step to getting on my knees on the core support when I'm needing to reach waaaay back towards the firewall.

I don't have one, but I'd like to try out one of those 'over head creepers'..

Anybody?

Knees on rad support sucks.

What is an over head creeper? That's not like a skyhook is it?

Knees on anything sucks. Especially the radiator

Does anybody know where I can find a cut sheet for one of those topside creepers?

100% Agree.

My wife had one made as Christmas Gift for me last year.

I agree, it doesn't take long to start hurting the old knee bones. If I was to plan ahead I'd have my nice leather and felt knee pads I used during cabinet installation close at hand. But, alas, I never seem to be that well organized.

I also would like to try one of those overhead creepers. I think it would make things a lot easier on my poor aching back.
