Just don't crash and it won't be an issue.Any effect of these pedals on safety in crash? Looks like ankle/lower leg injury in crash test is more likely before this is added in.

I'm using the quadratec pedal https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/driver-side-dead-pedal-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt
It took a very long time for me to get it. I forget the count now but it was something like 6+ months, but it eventually did arrive. Seems like a solid product, easy install, and it has some adjustment in it. A feature on it that I like more than I would have thought is I can lift the pedal up and out of the way. Makes for easy floor mat removal/cleaning, but what I mainly like it for is sometimes I'll just flip it up when I don't want a dead pedal and it stays out of my way. I can flip it up and down with my foot without a fuss.
What really sold me on the QT pedal over other options was the ease of installation, the one OP is considering appears to use the same single bolt. But the difference I think I'm seeing is that the QT pedal has some bracing around, it, so when you're putting your weight on the pedal that weight is supported by the firewall/floor. OPs looks like the weight may be supported mostly by the bolt. As a fat man, I appreciate spreading my weight out as much as possible.
It lets you rest your leg about 3" before you could in the jeep without it. Your leg isn't up on the dash. This would have little, if any effect.Any effect of these pedals on safety in crash? Looks like ankle/lower leg injury in crash test is more likely before this is added in.
It's a friction thing, so I suspect it may loosen with usage, but so far I haven't had to tighten mine up at all. It'd be easy enough to tighten that one bolt when, or if, it backs out a little.Your post answered all my questions about how they work with floor mats. Hearing it can be flipped up was most helpful too. Thank you!
Maybe you zoned out mid install and loosened the brake.Has anybody had their brake pedal feel a bit loose after install? Its the weirdest thing, but it seems like my brake pedal shakes a bit now. I'm also a hypochondriac with cares, tbh.
/agreed, all day long. Have this one without the pad, super simple, looks and works great, very high quality - and mine had fast shipping as well.This all day long: https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/driver-side-dead-pedal-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt
The install cannot be much simpler!
I think it was like $20 last week and another $20 for the small piece of rubber. $100 is stupid expensive for a piece of sheet metal and a tiny piece of plastic.... greed!damn the combo is $100 now?! Thats nuts. Was going to order one a few times but always on back order. And its $100? Meh, dont really need one.
I discovered from some trial and error that stuffing my glove behind the bracket helped get the nuts spun on without much effort. I didn't like the first setting and had to pull it back out. 2nd time around it dawned on me that all I needed was a third hand - like my glove wadded up in a ball. I was done in 2 minutes!MORE is what I have also. Its a real P.I.T.A. To install also.
Agreed. I went with the cheap version:I think it was like $20 last week and another $20 for the small piece of rubber. $100 is stupid expensive for a piece of sheet metal and a tiny piece of plastic.... greed!
