Bring Out Your Dead...

[Rollcast]

I have a dead pedal in my JT. The rental JLU I had last week obviously didn't have one, and I was kind of shocked at how much I missed it.

@planojeeper That looks way sturdier than the ones that got iffy reviews. Quadratec is saying May 9th to ship so if it's not got a tracking number by then will get this one. Thanks!

Not throwing shade on anyone...... I see the need and agree; however, keep in mind that any mechanical intrusion into the leg tunnel on any vehicle presents a possible mechanism for injury if a collision should occur. I have seen this in many types of vehicles. Be safe, and Keep on Jeepin.

A dead pedal is nice and being able to put your foot under and stretch helps as well. Here is the one I got, goes on sale for less at times as well. Well worth it and well built.

I have the same one in my truck. Funny.....in the Amazon pics, they don't even have it assembled properly......

I noticed that too, when I ordered and installed mine the pic wasn't there, would have really confused matters as the directions were a bit lacking

Not a bad install after figuring out how to twist our bodies just right.

FYI.....For anyone installing this pedal, I'd recomend stuffing a rag in behind the kick panel trim in case you drop one of the fasteners and it goes behind there.....Don't ask.........

I ordered mine weeks before I got my truck and it's still on backorder. Tempted to cancel and get an Amazon cheapie but reviewers say that they bend fairly easily and I'd prefer to go the "buy once, cry once" route.

I've been tempted to do the same. They keep moving the estimated ship date further out on their site. I'm going to start shopping around.

Get a dead for sure. Improved my comfort level. I went quadratec. I like it flips up for easy floor mat removal.

^^That looks nice, sure wish I could get my hands on one.

Dang, they just today moved estimated in stock date from May 9th to May 20th. In the grand scheme of things, I'd wait another month for a better product but at this rate it doesn't feel much like they're ever going to get them.
*Edited to add, Vivid Racing has them in stock. Same price but a hefty $18 for shipping. I got it anyway, I'd love to have this installed before the next Jeep road trip.

Update, Vivid racing's website said "In Stock," but now their ship date is longer than Quadratec's even! Asked for them to cancel my order and got this:

I don't know about you guys but I'm tired of seeing all these dead pedals advertised as driver side. I want a passenger side dead pedal damn it.

That's what the dash is for.

I installed the Amazon one (the one with the jeep cut-out). It was pretty easy with the right leverage. The only downside is it sits just a little too far away. But it's better than nothing.

Just got a notification that my Quadratec dead pedal with pad is shipping today via FedEx. Still showing out of stock on their website but anybody looking for one, it may be worth a call.
