Why is there no dead pedal???

[Brsox]

Is a Wrangler the only vehicle without a dead pedal??? It's one of the only things I'm not liking about my new Willys.

Its to give you a cheap modification to get your feet wet

I added the Quadratec dead pedal to mine a few months ago. Easy install and makes a huge difference. Especially on longer rides. Don't know why I waited so long to get one.

i also have the Quadratec dead pedal. i find it most useful during steep downhills.

Felt weird af not having a dead pedal for the longest time and while I'll still probably get one at some point, I'm actually enjoying the comfort of having my seat jacked up and sitting like I'm driving a tractor. Unless you're really tall, give it a try!

I’ve never used a dead pedal on any of my precious cars (probably because 95% of them have been stick shift). This one is an auto and I still don’t feel the need for one.

I did the M.O.R.E. dead pedal. A little bit of a PIA to install, but it is solid. That and a set of front seat risers (to give the seat a bit of a tilt back) and I'm good.

Just curious, does Mopar make a dead pedal for the JL?

I did the Metalcloak dead pedal. Works great.

Hummm....why do you say that? A dead pedal is just as important and perhaps even more important on a manual car. I use mine all the time on my manual cars, particularly when driving them on track - good for bracing on corners and gives you a place to relax the lefty in between shifts.

Most people I see who don't use a dead pedal in between shifts on a manual are riding the clutch.

Maybe doesn't realize the raised corner platform found on most manuals is functionally a dead pedal?

While I can do without one in an automatic, I'd absolutely hate to either have my left foot flopping around loose or constantly moving from raised knee w/flat foot to pressing in the clutch pedal, which takes too long.

It's definitely not good to be riding the clutch and your left foot should always be within a few inches of being able to press the pedal imo.

Agreed totally. when I went ahead and installed mine nothing happened when I used it though

No dead pedal for me. I love having the extra room to stretch my left leg out. I feel cramped up and uncomfortable when I get in my work car.

1 bolt mod - also, very comfortable on long drives.
