Best dead pedal?

[JL ME]

None.

Quadratec is on back order. The reviews on the M.O.R.E. all seem to mention that it’s a royal PITA to install - for all the usual under dash access reasons. Some reviewers even recommend removing the drivers seat.

Edit: M.O.R.E. Is out of stock as well.

A simple piece of duct tape makes the install much easier. I'm 6'4" and had it installed in about 15 minutes.
The biggest drawback is it has three possible positions and has to be removed to change them. The short cut is to install in the middle setting - decide if it's 'too warm, too cold or just right' - that way, if you need to move it, you only have to do it once...

I had the M.O.R.E. dead pedal for about a year. Yes, it was a royal pain in the a$$ to install. I tried the various positions that it has, but never felt it was exactly right. I swapped it out for a Quadratec dead pedal and couldn't be happier. The Quadratec was simple to install and is set perfectly for my driving style.

J.M.O...skip it. The install was a b*tch for me and I hardly ever use it.

I highly recommend NOT buying the MORE pedal. As other have said total PITA to install. It has 3 positions. If you use the middle position you cannot get rear bolt nut on so my pedal is mounted with only 1 nut. The mounting of the Quadratec pedal is MUCH more sensible.

Take a look at the Dead Pedal I designed. Made from 1/8" aluminum, so it is beefy! Simple install, all you need to do is remove the firewall bolt, put the pedal in place and replace the bolt. The pedal lifts out of the way for floor mat removal. The best feature of the pedal... I have two optional switches that mount in the pedal. The "Old School" floor dimmer switch or a momentary switch. I use the floor dimmer switch in my JL and JT and have it controlling a set of off-road lights. It makes the ultimate backroad high beam switch. No more fumbling trying to find a button to push while driving, just click the switch with your foot. The momentary switch was an option I added for customers looking for a way to control items such as a train horn.

Another vote for the Quadratech with rubber pad. Super easy install. When I ordered, the pedal with pad combo showed out of stock, but still shipped within 2 days. Maybe call Quadratech to check inventory.

If the rest are out of stock, check out the Hooke one on Amazon. 2 years now, it's great. Sturdy, and it lifts up just slightly to remove floor mats (not fully able to move out of the way, like some others). REALLY easy install.

If this had been available when I bought my QT pedal, I would've jumped on it!

Thank you! Much appreciated. I try to design parts that are useful, strong and have multi-purpose. If it's not something I would put in my Jeeps I won't design it! I also only make parts in aluminum or stainless steel. I will never use steel. I have purchased too many parts over the years that fail, some in less than a year. I can't bring myself to sell a customer a part that would do that!

Save your money, OP.

Maybe not the best looking dead pedal, but inexpensive and thus far solid as a rock. Easy one bolt installation and it flips up if you need to remove floor mats.

I bought that a few years ago. It was an easy install-but it is not very sturdy-so it keeps bending flat against the firewall. I would not buy it again.

I bought one on amazon for like $25 a couple years ago. Still going strong with no issues.

+1 for the Quadratec. Super easy install, multiple positions, and flips up to clean mats.

I ordered it when it was out of stock and it shipped within a week, this was last year.

 

[Da Capt]

Thanks people I was in the fence about which one as well. I’m gonna go with QT

+1 for the Quadratec pedal, with the optional rubber pad that matches the Jeep pedals. Quick, easy install, Stainless steel, and can be easily rotated up out of the way if necessary. The pad installs via double-sided tape, but it hasn't moved in 25,000 miles, so it's GOOD adhesive.

I don't know what the deal is with all these dead-pedals constantly being on back-order. I ordered mine back in 2021, and it took a couple months to get it. Weird...
