I am really happy with the quadratic dead pedal for my 23 mojave. I went with the padded one. Looks great and perfect foot rest. Makes a huge difference in having something there during long trips or off roading.

I keep hearing about these dead pedals, but I personally don't have an issue with setting my foot flat on the floor or resting o my heel.

Do these really make that much of an improvement ? Improve your comfort ?

Which one is most recommended ?

Lastly, how involved was the installation ?

It looks great ! Nice job ?

It all depends on your preference and past experience I guess. Most of my previous vehs had dead pedals where you could rest the idle left foot. When I noticed the jeep didn't have one, I found my foot reaching or looking for a rest. It wasn't overly problematic , but more of a convenience and what you find comfortable. It is also nice to have a pad to push on to give you stability or leverage up against to either adjust yourself on seat or simply to brace the left foot on . Installation is a breeze. 1/10 skill required.

I got the one by Quadratic with the rubber pad. The rubber pad is matched nicely with the existing pedals. The quality is fantastic along with overall length and quality of hardware.

Was it worth it? Definitely! It makes a "comfort" difference for me. It also always you to move it out of the way if you want to remove floor lining etc.

I love the original look with just the metal showing. I added the pad (which is simply a 3m secured rubber pad, good quality and good adhesion) and nicely matches the other pedals. I only got it cause we get lots of snow/ice here and it will keep foot somewhat planted without the slippery feel.

Thanks for taking your time to explain.... I got the padded version in my cart... as soon as I get the time to make the phone call to Quadratec for my 5% discount I will place my order.

Cheers ?

Dead Pedal was my first mod. Ended up with one from Amazon with an American Flag etched on it. Went on super easy and such a relief while driving.

Does anyone notice when you press the brake pedal you can feel it in the deal pedal?

Interesting observation. I have not noticed movement in Dead Pedal when pressing brake. The bolt the dead pedal secures to is the same anchor point for the "clutch pedal " on a manual..? I could be wrong.

The quadratic kit came with 2 washers that you place on anchor then bolt down. Not sure if this is relevant or not.

I had the Quadratech dead pedal and Desert Does it “Seat Jackers,” before I picked up my Jeep. Went in immediately upon getting it home. Great setup.
