    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.

    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
    Cheers
