Dead pedal does not work with the 4xe

[Asterix2112]

Bought a dead pedal to rest my left foot on, but it seems the bolt that all the dead pedals install on does not exist on a 4xe! Anyone know of one that is made for the 4xe?

Which dead pedal did you purchase if you don't mind me asking? And could you share a picture?

That’s unacceptable. I just ordered mine and I hated my gladiator without the dead pedal. It’s a day one install for me for sure so this better get worked out lol

Just found this out last night when I tried to install my Dead Pedal. The bolt from the firewall that you used to be able to attach the dead pedal is now shorter and recessed in some hard plastic. Very frustrating and now to have to find some other way to mount it. I would return it, but I had already powder coated it. This makes me wonder what other "small" changes Jeep made to the vehicle.

Is it possible to just add a bolt extender?

Which dead pedal are you trying to install? I've seen some that mount on the side wall and others that mount directly to a firewall bolt.

I bought the Hooke Road pedal. It bolts to the firewall bolt.

@moments.by.ron I will definitely need to look if the bolt extender is feasible; don't think there would be an issue, but have not really checked the bolt yet.

No, the bolt extender would not work.

I have this one. It mounts on the side and works very well.

I think the OP was referring to a change in the 4xe model. Can you confirm, is yours a 4xe hybrid? Your signature shows you have a diesel. Just wanted to confirm.

I do not have the 4XE. From what I read the OP was trying to attached a dead pedal to the firewall but the bolt has been changed. I was merely providing a different option as the one I have attaches to the side (not the firewall). I dont know for sure if it will work with the 4XE but its possible someone could reach out to the MFG and ask.

Ahh. Got it. Thanks for posting - I’m thinking you’re probably right that it should work. And I hear a lot of people really like the MORE dead pedal. Hopefully a 4xe owner can confirm for certain!

The side mount ones will work but it’s a pain in the ass to install. I originally bought the kind the bolts to the firewall only to learn that it didn’t fit. I then bought the side mount kind and it fits well but very challenging to install.

Can you share which brand dead pedal you installed? I’m looking to get confirmation from someone who’s installed the M.O.R.E dead pedal on a 4xe (see the link a few posts back).

I’ve reached out to M.O.R.E. with this question, but haven’t heard back from them yet.

Thanks!

I see there's several brands/styles of the type that doesn't mount to the side, so I assume __all__ the "front mount" work the same? Use the same - now unavailable - bolt?
