I guess that's a familiar position to work in. But I also just sit on the radiator as well when there is enough room to drape my legs inside, and of course when the engine is cool enough.

Wheels on all four corners is a bad idea... I can see myself slowly creeping away into the front of my toolbox.

I just take the cab off

You take the cab off to work on yours. I think I will stick to working on mine with the cab on and the motor in place. I bet I can do a injector swap, or valve spring change on mine quicker than you on yours from start to finish.

The wheels are spring loaded. So it doesn't move when your on it.

Here's a pic of my Cave that has a 7000# lift and a 10,000# lift.
