What do you use to gain access to working under the bonnet?

[NP99]

I know RLI built himself a set of wooden steps to use while working under the bonnet. I think there is an army copyright infringement action against him :)

I'm using a double milk crate that's about as safe as an accident waiting to happen!

What are you guys using ?

I found the tyre a good size for my height.

[BigRAWesty]

Well at 6ft and only a 2 inch lift I'm still ok.. When the 33's go on it may be a little different...
It goes to proove 2 inches does count... :p

[meh]

A tyre step. Fully adjustable easy to put on and store

Going on sale at SCA for $38 I think i seen in the latest catalogue

[MudRunnerTD]

Milk crates. But after the new lift they are a little small!! Damn it!

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

Lol i normally reverse onto a set of ramps, brings front right down easy angle to work on.

[Robo]

2 lumps of 12 x 6 oregon.
(was cut at an angle to make up a pair ramps)
and if that's to short I lay a board across the pair for another lift up.
couple of milk crates and a sleeper for a perch also works

My giraffe legs are ok...

Careful using crates and chairs, changing the rear oil filter is pretty far down the bay and if you lean too much forward the crate gets away from you and you can chin yourself on the front quarter...LMAO

Not going to ask how you know that.

[threedogs]

MR tried 4ltr milk crates lol

[taslucas]

I use my mechanic mate and mechanic brother. Have not hurt myself yet!

[my third 256]

small doudle sided step ladder workes for me
just remember to take the belt off as it will scratch the shit out of the paint work as you lean over
also got one of those tyre steps good for getting the stuff of the roof rack

Yep been there done that !

[93patrol]

Take the bonnet off and sit in the engine bay. Lol

[Parksy]

I stand on the bullbar and if I really need something in the back of the engine section, I'll find a stable spot to kneel in the engine bay. Very painful especially like the other day when I adjusted the valve clearances and the engine needs to be hot. Need to invest in a step ladder I think.

Not in a GU mate, not enough room :)

[macca]

Small aluminium work platform from Bunning's for $39, Use it camping as a work bench, fire side table for cooking or coffee / beers, lunch stop quick table, seat, shower bench.
Fantastic value for the dollars

[Ben-e-boy]

if I am doing major work let the tyres down and a milk crate

[Bob]

Take the bonnet off and sit in the engine bay. Lol

Ah the good old days when you did that on the FJ Holdens.
Tappet Cover off, Motor running and adjusting Tappets whilst sitting on Mudguard with Feet in Engine Bay.

They don't make Cars like that anymore (Thank God) LOL

[lhurley]

Ive got an 80L esky that is the perfect height. Failing that, climb all over it, on the wheel, on the bull bar, what ever it takes to get up high enough

[growler2058]

4' step ladder works good for me

[krbrooking]

^^^x2^^^^. I have a small step ladder for when at home, but out bush I normally have a couple of milk crates lying around.
