FC Autos Exactly! My STI has some chopped fingers on the rear window and my nickel board I keep in the trunk also has chopped fingers on the bottom as well!
Spike Kastleman wait... "again"? What's the problem of these Internet fucktards?! They try to make cool (and somewhat useful) content yet get stupid people who just can't live in a society ruining their stuff?
tbh they never stopped doing old mcm style videos, they just do so many more videos per year now that you probably don't notice them go by so quick, remember part of the old mcm style was 1 video a month if you were lucky lol
I just bought a Harbor Freight mechanic creeper for $20 bucks it was on sale I can already love it works great but I loved the video definitely keep up with this type of diy cheap stuff love it wanna see more
I'm sure I'm the only one: I actually can't stand using creepers. If you have a low car, it makes things a bit difficult, because every inch matters. Also, if your undoing tight bolts like axle bolts or something, the wheels don't allow you to sit stationary. I have a creeper, but use cardboard instead. Allows me to sit a bit more comfortably, but without the negatives of a creeper.
Layne White I use my creeper sometimes, but most of the time I don't. when I replaced the downpipe on my Saab I couldn't stand using a creeper, but when I do shit like replaced side skirts and random shit that doesnt require alot of muscle to take off bolts I use a creeper. just all depends what I'm doing. so I guess I can agree
My creeper has 'fixed' wheels (only move forward backward) height is always an issue, but stands solve that just fine. The wheels, because they dont turn, make it slightly harder to get the creeper exactly in the right spot, but then i get leverage to undo bolts.
I usually use cardboard if anything at all, but in FL, I don't USUALLY have to worry about ass-freezing concrete. It's 23degF here right now, so the cardboard would be right out.
That's actually a pretty good idea. Never thought of that! I may have to buy some yoga mat or something of sorts for when the car comes back out of storage.
I use a camping mat. I did just buy a creeper to replace the front driveshaft in my MB but even with the low pro creeper I was far too tight under the car and went back to the mat. A creeper is nice on higher things though, like SUVs and trucks.
Ahhhh... it all makes sense now. I was wondering why they would be telling you how to make a creeper when their sponsor, SuperCheapAuto, sells them for not much more money. It made me wonder if SuperCheapAuto had left them and they were getting tasty petty revenge, but they're actually just keeping a different sponsor happy 😂
Oliver Watson theyve used all ryobi stuff for over a year. Just rally good stuff every appliance is battery or plug in. All the batteries are universal with other ryobi tools. And at least for me they are really sturdy.
So sick guys! i am starting my own channel with my shop and i am aspiring to put out great content as you always do! keep up the good work and happy new year!
HF rules for some things, and yes, my square tube steel frame dropped creeper is from there. I know I paid less than $30 USD for it, because I'd have refused to pay more.
For way less money, you can make one that just works. For just a little bit more money, you can make one that's way better. This is honestly one of the most mcm things you could possibly do
If you're the kinda person who watched MCM you should already own a set of power tools. And you can get an array of power tools for 400 bucks if you shop around.
By the amount of videos and blogs about how the engine blows head gaskets when you look sideways at them, its probably back at ford already. As ford is one of their sponsors, nothing will be mentioned :-)
"How to make a garage creeper for $30!" uses $25 worth of wood, $12 on wheels, and a few bucks on bolts... that's $40, and there's two to choose from at Supercheap Auto for that price...
That an RB off to the side I see? Also, main issue with your creeper is the footprint. Even the small one gets annoying hitting jackstands and stuff. Your custom model is quite a bit larger. Nice work though.
If you go to harbor freight you can get a creeper just like the $62 one for about $20 (with a coupon) and then get free items with other coupons. That is cheaper, easier, and better than a homemade one.
Wood - $25 Power Saw - $50 Portable Power Saw - $50 Rectangle pencil - $1 Measuring tape - $10 Ryobi Power Drill - $50 2 Clamps - $10 various screw - $5 wheels - $12 Ryobi Rotary tool - $30 Ryobi Vaccum - $20 Ryobi Angle grinder - $30 Table Clamp - $20 Your total comes to $313 not $30 :( And i was being soooo generous with the tool prices which is actually alot more.
Paul Phoenix *10^-2 of the standard metre. It’s more accurate to use smaller standard measurements when constructing so using a standard 1m ruler with 1cm intervals is appropriate for this build.
Slugworth It’s just called the metric system. It’s not like the mm is a superior of the cm. You’ve got millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, hectometer, kilometer.. all metric measurements. 0.1cm is just as precise as 1mm.
Although this is not a bad project if you want something to do, the cost is almost equivalent to the actually product. Ply- 1200x600 $19 Pine 66x19 $12 for 3m Castors $12 for 4 Glue $6.28 Screws $4 Bolts $6.40 = $59.68 Well over the $30 quoted, that wouldn't even cover the timber. Source- I work for Bunnings and double checked the webpage also.
MOOG: Thank you for informing myself and my co-worker (whom I've corrupted by showing him your 'inurendo' channel) what a 'CLACKER' is. So "let words fall from mouth 👄 like shit from clacker!!!"
Only Moog would consider tofu to be proper fuel to keep you going. Nothing revolutionary, but always a good build for if you're able... and for half the cash of most overpriced, over-engineered, store-bought crap. If you're really budgeting but have a saw and sander (or sandpaper and elbow grease), a pallet can remove the price of the 1x3s. Hell, for the plywood sheet, ask guys at a home construction site - there's a good chance that they'll be throwing out cut offs (if not ENTIRE sheets), letting you build this for nothing more than screws, glue and casters (another option: use a single sheet of plywood to build the entire thing if you have a saw)
I was thinking as I was watching: How could I make this more comfortable on the cheap? First I thought maybe a mattress topper. But those are actually pretty pricey by comparison. Then I had a stroke of genius: Magic Erasers. It sounds expensive, but I'll let you in on a secret: You can buy a 100 pack of magic erasers for about $10 CAD/AUD on eBay by searching for "melamine foam", and you'd have enough left over to clean your house and garage top to bottom several times over after. The best part is, they come in little brick shapes, and they're easy to cut, so fitting them to your creeper would be easy, and you can lay the rubber mat right over it after to keep it easy to clean.
Guys you have far too much time on your hands, things you missed off the creeper... 1, Chop fingers stickers. 2, Unicorn pictures. Or were you too stuffed after Crimbo and you were both itching to get back to the shop......... Lovin ya guys!!!!
WARNING: your Focus RS has an inherent engine problem, please see th-cam.com/video/Nan3LURIq3k/w-d-xo.html for backgrounds head gasket prematurely fails due to open deck design, risk of hydro-lock...
Just noticed that the numberplate or whatever it is from the TRDLZR is in the background and in your guys' profile picture (The yellow plate). Awesome that you guys have kept that! BTW, that music video was the best ever!
Hey guys, keep the great video's coming. I'm sure you've heard, but in case you haven't. There's been a major engine issue with the headgasket on the RS's like the one you have. I've seen a few video's about it. Check this one out. th-cam.com/video/Nan3LURIq3k/w-d-xo.html GenFUBAR.
how, where and who did you organize your workshop with? its exactly what I want to get with some friends but I can't find ANYTHING. Its all just huge places that are like 20k a year to rent..
1. I would have made it upside down compared to yours with the flat side up 2. Numbers like this means I'm making a point 3. I would have just put the wheels on the inside corners instead of adding more wood and save mula and prevent something to hang up on things like jack stands 4. Would have made it smaller to make better use of your arms over the edges 5. Would just put a piece of metal over the head rest part and sides to stick a magnetic flashlight to it so i could take it off and move it any time i needed. 6. Number Sex 7. Put a small tray above the head rest for tools! Yum (it's easier to scratch your head than it is your side ribs) 8. I should make my own and steal most your ideas but claim that you don't know how to make it right ;-)
I still have my old Mac tools creeper with adjustable head rest I got 30 years ago I had 2 of them but I scraped my older one for parts when I moved to save space I needed 2 of them on the farm we had a huge 3 car garage and I had one on each side of the shop now I just have one for working in the drive way. I just looked and Harbor freight sells the plastic creepers for $27.99 not bad in Australia they go for 78 ausi bucks ( I checked ) or around 40 US bucks
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, it’s nice. Thanks again.
episode idea: moog and marty both get $500 each to buy a car, and another 500 for modifications. points at the end for: performance, styling, ICE, and cool factor!! would make an epic series IMO
How much do you value your time? You can go out and buy that creeper for $60 and be done with it, or you could go out and spend your time and petrol to buy all the parts needed for this thing, spend another 2-3hrs making it, basically throw away half your day... to save $30. Unless you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time, I suppose go for it.
Everyone commenting that it's not worth the effort to build your own creeper is missing the point... the objective of this project is clearly to illustrate the use of about a dozen different Ryobi products... notice how the brand names of other tool manufacturers are obscured as well. But if the occasional sell-out video is the price we pay to keep MCM going strong, I'm not complaining.
Funny stuff. An almost identical creeper (looks the same, but another colour) is about 40 aus dollar here in Sweden. I've got a red one out in the garage.. We also have a fun slang nickname for garage creeper: Garagehora, or garage whore directly translated to english. Haven't been able to find the origin of the nickname though, so I dont know why we call it that.
I love MCM to bits, and it would take a lot for that to change. So 3 weeks ago they release a decent video doing springs on mod max. since then there has been an MCM meet montage, killing an already dying trash box and then a full length tutorial on how to build a fucking dinner tray on wheels. Not gonna lie, after having a shitty xmas I was hoping for a bit more of an xmas special than this. Im just hoping 2018 is kicked off with something awesome.
$62??!! Prices are just insane down under... That one you show at the beginning costs $25 at Harbor Freight in the US. And is frequently on sale for as low as $12.
ehh I didn't realize I was watching a home improvement channel. I also didn't realize I missed all the DIY episodes until MOOG mentioned it, now I'm nostalgic for cool DIY mods.
Can you guys show us how to forge and rebuild a engine. Such as after market cams, honing cylinders and new bearings core plugs etc. Would love to attempt mine but with out a proper knowledge of what I'm doing I'm stuck with a car with no engine haha. Iv done timing belts and engine swaps but nothing like a full rebuild. Diy hobbiest here lol Cheers guys
Y'all are forgetting that they are talking about 30 AUD, and not USD. This comes to be about 24 USD, or more likely, less due to how cheap these supplies would be in the US
it's weird seeing tape measures that aren't designed with standard markings, ie inches subdivided on one side by 1/8 and the other by 1/4, thicc black markers every 12 inches, and red markers every 16. Greetings from the US!
A floor dolly can be converted into a "garage creeper." www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-1-000-lb-Capacity-Furniture-Dolly-33700/100057209 Add a sheet of plywood to this, and whatever else you feel like (staple a pillow, or memory foam covered over with leather". I've been to a tool store where they sell these for $5.00, but I've just linked one for reference. I have raised vehicles, so clearance is never an issue for me.
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!
I made one years ago from grounding flat stock and 6 caster wheels found inexplicably in a box in my garage. Where i never left them. Anyways, you take the banding/flat stock and cut it in to 4 strips 3 of equal length (as wide as your body + a little extra for the casters) one as long as the creeper you want. You then bend the 3 to contour your body + a two straight portions bent downwards at the ends but on the same plane between the two of them. You drill holes there for the six casters + 3 more holes in the centers of the 3 strips with wheels, then 3 more in the longer piece, you bolt all 4 pieces together and throw in any piece of flat material that you can bend. You can secure it with sheetscrews that are then ground off on the other side (or don't i'm not your mother) and you're done with the basic frame. For me the cost was zero + my time, i had everything in stock.
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
Hey M00g and Marty, how about supporting your forum community and encouraging users to get active and post cool content like this. You could start by hiring some new mods to clean ou the SPAM so their is room to post cool content. After all having lost the good stuff its time to replace it with more MAAAD content.
Very nice solution with keeping the gas bottle on the pushpit. How does it handle the sun thou? And naughty people playing with it, do you have it locked? :) Best wishes from Sweden!
Starts costing more when you start adding stuff to it, but the $60 doesn't have those extras, does it? So cost wise, you're getting more for your money anyway... Now just patent the design, remake it with moulded plastic including the little compartments and built-in LED lights make it in China, sell it for $80, and you'll be millionaires over night.
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.
Hey mcm I saw you guys at Summernuts on Friday with the chester. My dad through it looked so out of place until I realized that it was the Chester from your channel :-). Great car!
Spend most of the time under my Astra H. Fix 1 thing and something else breaks! Turbo this time.... Good excuse for a bigger one ;) creeper helps a bunch.

If it has 4 wheels, it needs a *Chopped* sticker...
FC Autos it is already low.
FC Autos Exactly! My STI has some chopped fingers on the rear window and my nickel board I keep in the trunk also has chopped fingers on the bottom as well!
It can beat the crushed Mira
My husband used these plans from woodprix and he's very satisfied.
Fantastic solution also to me. Thanks for tip Carmelina!

Next week we stain and seal the wood with 3 coats of finishing sealer
AccAkut1987 I should've checked comments before commenting. I said the same thing
That gave me a woody!
Put neon under glow on it.
I caught my wife’s ex in our garage installing cameras. That was a free garage creeper.
Why were your wifes ex in your garage?
Ah, english is my second language, so the grammar sometimes gets mixed up
free cameras too.
Depending on how fat she is, she might dent the car hood to all hell, and cars are more important than women.
She that fat let the ex have her
Will that slide under a honda?
It looks too wide so probably not and it looks heavy
4everfree thecovenent Ah yes.. wide and heavy. Two things that have absolutely no fucking effect on profile height..
Shona matters to me 🖖🏻
4everfree thecovenent Do you even speak English? Nothing you are saying makes any sense..
Only if the oil is coming out of the engine

mypiratemonkey #DoTheCreep
harbor freight sells them for $20
TheMaskedbuilder but then it wouldn’t be DIY would it ?
BillyGualter27 no its cheaper and saves you an hour.
you could be a cheapass and use a skateboard like me...
Gma Bailey but do they have leds and magnetic unicorn stuff ? No they don’t 😂
you could add leds to it for another $5? harbor freight is the best shit
Looking good guys!
Yesss good old-fashioned DIY mightycarmods :)
Headrest ?
10/10 would watch Marty and Moog Garage crash people and help them with their builds.
Now that could be cool
Watching this in 360p like a real MCM fan!
Anything past 360 is a waste on cellphones anyways. I see no difference from 480-1080... 4K is even more of a waste. Unless you're brocading to a TV.
AlexCoronaPhoto are your eyes broken
ALTEA Entertainment depends on the phone
Bryson Uchiha my data ran out so I'm stuck in 144p.
AlexCoronaPhoto You either need a new phone or glasses then.
Yes, yes, yes, but which creeper is faster?!???!!??
I just bought a Harbor Freight mechanic creeper for $20 bucks it was on sale I can already love it works great but I loved the video definitely keep up with this type of diy cheap stuff love it wanna see more
the whole world does not have access to harbour frieght
Richard Perkins. Hey I know that may be but I was just saying that's all man
fair enough
It'll break soon.
I've read people drill holes in the top side of the HF creaper and spray in expanding foam which dramatically increases strength.
Did Ryobi ever get back to you, After your shout-out last month?
yeah they did , they got like 10 batteries
Stephen Butler and probably all those other ryobi wood tools
"presented by just car insurance"
I miss that.

Cant you buy a creeper for $30?
yes you can :D
Yeah a Craftsman at that with adjustable headrest
But mine don't have all the handy features
They live in Australia,not cheap O USA. Where a harbor freight one is $10...
They are around 80€ here
Please, make a gokart
This times a million
That is an awesome idea... Would love to see that. 😎😎😎
This video sponsored by Ryobi by any chance?
nahh they got the buy one get one at Home Depot :)
Ahhhh... it all makes sense now.
I was wondering why they would be telling you how to make a creeper when their sponsor, SuperCheapAuto, sells them for not much more money. It made me wonder if SuperCheapAuto had left them and they were getting tasty petty revenge, but they're actually just keeping a different sponsor happy 😂
No. Ryobi is just cheap decent stuff
Oliver Watson theyve used all ryobi stuff for over a year. Just rally good stuff every appliance is battery or plug in. All the batteries are universal with other ryobi tools. And at least for me they are really sturdy.
ohio houston Teletubbies color
I should have thought of that. since I don't have a creeper now I can start saving scraps & make that for less that 20$. thanx mcm.
Moog is a type of guy who goes to toilet twice to clean his ass again hahaha
Who isn't
Cereal Killer I don't I like walking around with nuggets hanging from the rim pffft hahahaha
Cereal Killer da type of guy to try and spread this from Doug's channel :D

Harbor Freight.
tecnui we don’t have that in aus.
HF rules for some things, and yes, my square tube steel frame dropped creeper is from there. I know I paid less than $30 USD for it, because I'd have refused to pay more.
I hit like immediately after moogs intro speech
Moog is an awesome host
For way less money, you can make one that just works. For just a little bit more money, you can make one that's way better.
This is honestly one of the most mcm things you could possibly do
Great work guys , Next Year is going to be sick . Wishing you guys all the best from South Africa :)
Mighty construction mods.
Lol for 30$ you could get one at O’rilley Autoparts
Creepers are shit unless you have a quick jack, i need all the clearance i can get with jack and jack stands. Cardboard FTW!!
What's the name of the song at 1:35? I love it but I can't seem to find the title...
Been wondering for months
Take a look at Moog's music Channel he often or always makes the sound stuff himself. :)
Been looking for it for ages but i guess it doesn't exist outside their videos.
At harbor freight you can get a low profile creeper for 27:99
With only $1000 worth of power tools and three hours of your time. Or just spend $62 on the plastic one.
It's called Mighty Car Mods, not Mighty Buy Stuff Cos It's Easier
If you're the kinda person who watched MCM you should already own a set of power tools. And you can get an array of power tools for 400 bucks if you shop around.
yeah but... why use the side with the bracing to lie on? turn it around man
"How to make a garage creepier"
At harbor freight there are only 19.99 with a coupon
"you gotta screw it from underneath" IM DEAD 😂😂😂
Here's another way:
1. Get a bunch of skateboards
2. Remove all the wheels and fit them sideways
3. Join the skateboards together
Job done.
What happend to the focus rs???
next year
It probably blew the head gasket.
By the amount of videos and blogs about how the engine blows head gaskets when you look sideways at them, its probably back at ford already. As ford is one of their sponsors, nothing will be mentioned :-)
+Jasper Pipes Did Ford recalled it's cars?
They're not focusing on it at the moment
In sweden they are called "Hora" or "Garagehora". Hora is the swedish work for Hooker.
I have no Garage....

In sweden u can buy the new for under 30 dollars #biltemadesomger
Or not waste a day of your life and pay $50 to buy a good one. LOL
Homebrew Subaru yup, it's a video for those who happens to have a bit of wood lying around on lazy day.
As well as caster wheels, assembly hardware, tools, space to do so and a friend to tell you that you are doing it wrong!

Talking in mm when cm is good enough just sounds as if you want to act interesting.
i like Moogs creeper better then the store bought one
Yes

Ryobi Rotary tool - $30
Ryobi Vaccum - $20

Your total comes to $313 not $30 :( And i was being soooo generous with the tool prices which is actually alot more.
What are centimeeters even..
Paul Phoenix *10^-2 of the standard metre. It’s more accurate to use smaller standard measurements when constructing so using a standard 1m ruler with 1cm intervals is appropriate for this build.

They are those silly things the teachers said were going to be important, back in the 70’s and 80’s
Matt Shuey you guys will switch to metric eventually, it might take another 50 years, maybe 100, but it’ll happen eventually.
Although this is not a bad project if you want something to do, the cost is almost equivalent to the actually product.
Ply- 1200x600 $19
Pine 66x19 $12 for 3m
Castors $12 for 4
Glue $6.28
Screws $4
Bolts $6.40
= $59.68
Well over the $30 quoted, that wouldn't even cover the timber.

MOOG: Thank you for informing myself and my co-worker (whom I've corrupted by showing him your 'inurendo' channel) what a 'CLACKER' is. So "let words fall from mouth 👄 like shit from clacker!!!"
If you aren't in Australia, Harbor Freight has that exact plastic creeper for like 25-30$
Only Moog would consider tofu to be proper fuel to keep you going.
Nothing revolutionary, but always a good build for if you're able... and for half the cash of most overpriced, over-engineered, store-bought crap.
If you're really budgeting but have a saw and sander (or sandpaper and elbow grease), a pallet can remove the price of the 1x3s. Hell, for the plywood sheet, ask guys at a home construction site - there's a good chance that they'll be throwing out cut offs (if not ENTIRE sheets), letting you build this for nothing more than screws, glue and casters (another option: use a single sheet of plywood to build the entire thing if you have a saw)
I was thinking as I was watching: How could I make this more comfortable on the cheap? First I thought maybe a mattress topper. But those are actually pretty pricey by comparison. Then I had a stroke of genius: Magic Erasers. It sounds expensive, but I'll let you in on a secret: You can buy a 100 pack of magic erasers for about $10 CAD/AUD on eBay by searching for "melamine foam", and you'd have enough left over to clean your house and garage top to bottom several times over after. The best part is, they come in little brick shapes, and they're easy to cut, so fitting them to your creeper would be easy, and you can lay the rubber mat right over it after to keep it easy to clean.
6:22 OST car mechanic simulator))))))) i think that sample was bought and mixed by Moog))) COOOOOOL
Guys you have far too much time on your hands, things you missed off the creeper...
1, Chop fingers stickers.
2, Unicorn pictures.
Or were you too stuffed after Crimbo and you were both itching to get back to the shop.........
Lovin ya guys!!!!
WARNING: your Focus RS has an inherent engine problem, please see th-cam.com/video/Nan3LURIq3k/w-d-xo.html for backgrounds head gasket prematurely fails due to open deck design, risk of hydro-lock...
Just noticed that the numberplate or whatever it is from the TRDLZR is in the background and in your guys' profile picture (The yellow plate). Awesome that you guys have kept that! BTW, that music video was the best ever!
Hey guys, keep the great video's coming.
I'm sure you've heard, but in case you haven't.
There's been a major engine issue with the headgasket on the RS's like the one you have. I've seen a few video's about it.
Check this one out.

how, where and who did you organize your workshop with? its exactly what I want to get with some friends but I can't find ANYTHING. Its all just huge places that are like 20k a year to rent..
1. I would have made it upside down compared to yours with the flat side up
2. Numbers like this means I'm making a point
3. I would have just put the wheels on the inside corners instead of adding more wood and save mula and prevent something to hang up on things like jack stands
4. Would have made it smaller to make better use of your arms over the edges
5. Would just put a piece of metal over the head rest part and sides to stick a magnetic flashlight to it so i could take it off and move it any time i needed.
6. Number Sex
7. Put a small tray above the head rest for tools! Yum (it's easier to scratch your head than it is your side ribs)
8. I should make my own and steal most your ideas but claim that you don't know how to make it right ;-)
I still have my old Mac tools creeper with adjustable head rest I got 30 years ago I had 2 of them but I scraped my older one for parts when I moved to save space I needed 2 of them on the farm we had a huge 3 car garage and I had one on each side of the shop now I just have one for working in the drive way. I just looked and Harbor freight sells the plastic creepers for $27.99 not bad in Australia they go for 78 ausi bucks ( I checked ) or around 40 US bucks
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, it’s nice. Thanks again.
episode idea: moog and marty both get $500 each to buy a car, and another 500 for modifications.
points at the end for: performance, styling, ICE, and cool factor!! would make an epic series IMO
How much do you value your time? You can go out and buy that creeper for $60 and be done with it, or you could go out and spend your time and petrol to buy all the parts needed for this thing, spend another 2-3hrs making it, basically throw away half your day... to save $30. Unless you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time, I suppose go for it.
Everyone commenting that it's not worth the effort to build your own creeper is missing the point... the objective of this project is clearly to illustrate the use of about a dozen different Ryobi products... notice how the brand names of other tool manufacturers are obscured as well. But if the occasional sell-out video is the price we pay to keep MCM going strong, I'm not complaining.
Funny stuff. An almost identical creeper (looks the same, but another colour) is about 40 aus dollar here in Sweden. I've got a red one out in the garage..
We also have a fun slang nickname for garage creeper: Garagehora, or garage whore directly translated to english. Haven't been able to find the origin of the nickname though, so I dont know why we call it that.
I love MCM to bits, and it would take a lot for that to change. So 3 weeks ago they release a decent video doing springs on mod max. since then there has been an MCM meet montage, killing an already dying trash box and then a full length tutorial on how to build a fucking dinner tray on wheels. Not gonna lie, after having a shitty xmas I was hoping for a bit more of an xmas special than this. Im just hoping 2018 is kicked off with something awesome.
$62??!! Prices are just insane down under...
That one you show at the beginning costs $25 at Harbor Freight in the US. And is frequently on sale for as low as $12.
ehh I didn't realize I was watching a home improvement channel. I also didn't realize I missed all the DIY episodes until MOOG mentioned it, now I'm nostalgic for cool DIY mods.
Can you guys show us how to forge and rebuild a engine. Such as after market cams, honing cylinders and new bearings core plugs etc. Would love to attempt mine but with out a proper knowledge of what I'm doing I'm stuck with a car with no engine haha. Iv done timing belts and engine swaps but nothing like a full rebuild. Diy hobbiest here lol Cheers guys
Y'all are forgetting that they are talking about 30 AUD, and not USD. This comes to be about 24 USD, or more likely, less due to how cheap these supplies would be in the US
it's weird seeing tape measures that aren't designed with standard markings, ie inches subdivided on one side by 1/8 and the other by 1/4, thicc black markers every 12 inches, and red markers every 16. Greetings from the US!
rookie mistake with the castor bolts LOL and Moog it is CHAMFER (SHAMFA) not CAMPHOR.....HAPPY NEW YEAR MOFO'S
Nut trick is ok, better way is grind it at 45* to a bench grinder, head of the bolt up and threads pointed down.
A floor dolly can be converted into a "garage creeper."

Add a sheet of plywood to this, and whatever else you feel like (staple a pillow, or memory foam covered over with leather". I've been to a tool store where they sell these for $5.00, but I've just linked one for reference.
I have raised vehicles, so clearance is never an issue for me.
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!
29.99 you can get a cheapy in THE US and add magnets and lights to it if you wish!
I made one years ago from grounding flat stock and 6 caster wheels found inexplicably in a box in my garage.
Where i never left them.
Anyways, you take the banding/flat stock and cut it in to 4 strips 3 of equal length (as wide as your body + a little extra for the casters) one as long as the creeper you want. You then bend the 3 to contour your body + a two straight portions bent downwards at the ends but on the same plane between the two of them.
You drill holes there for the six casters + 3 more holes in the centers of the 3 strips with wheels, then 3 more in the longer piece, you bolt all 4 pieces together and throw in any piece of flat material that you can bend.
You can secure it with sheetscrews that are then ground off on the other side (or don't i'm not your mother) and you're done with the basic frame.
For me the cost was zero + my time, i had everything in stock.
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
Hey M00g and Marty, how about supporting your forum community and encouraging users to get active and post cool content like this. You could start by hiring some new mods to clean ou the SPAM so their is room to post cool content. After all having lost the good stuff its time to replace it with more MAAAD content.
Guess you guys in Straya dont have a discount tool store like Harbor Freight. You can buy a creeper here for $20 USD. But fun project vid anyway.
Very nice solution with keeping the gas bottle on the pushpit. How does it handle the sun thou? And naughty people playing with it, do you have it locked? :)
Best wishes from Sweden!
Starts costing more when you start adding stuff to it, but the $60 doesn't have those extras, does it? So cost wise, you're getting more for your money anyway... Now just patent the design, remake it with moulded plastic including the little compartments and built-in LED lights make it in China, sell it for $80, and you'll be millionaires over night.
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.
Hey mcm I saw you guys at Summernuts on Friday with the chester. My dad through it looked so out of place until I realized that it was the Chester from your channel :-). Great car!
Spend most of the time under my Astra H. Fix 1 thing and something else breaks! Turbo this time.... Good excuse for a bigger one ;) creeper helps a bunch.
