Reviews for Quadratec Driver Side Dead Pedal for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT Including 4Xe

I'm actually rating this dead pedal a 4.9.

On the plus side:
(1) It's very well designed and constructed. It's beefy, unlike some cheaper alternatives I found on-line. It also looks good even though almost nobody will ever look at it.
(2) The install was very quick, maybe ten minutes, and it could have been even quicker except for the two minuses I list below.
(3) It's easy to move the dead pedal up and down for pulling out the floor mat.
(4) The dead pedal in place is nearly perfect. The width is perfect. The position of the bottom end fits me exactly (I am 6'-0" tall and my legs are proportional to my frame). I use my left foot to brake, and the position of my left foot on the dead pedal makes it quicker for me to brake than without the dead pedal. The pedal angle is good, although a slightly steeper angle would be a little better. Extending the side tabs on the mounting plate to provide one more set of holes would do it.

On the minus side:
(1) The instruction say to use a 5-mm hex key, but the bolts for mine required a 4-mm hex key. That took a very long 30 seconds for me to go back to my tool box to get the 4-mm. :-)
(2) About 2 inches along one of the flanges on the underside of the dead pedal was not ground smooth like the rest of it. When I picked it up, I got stabbed by a little metal sliver. It took a few minutes to get a bandage for my left palm and use a Dremel with a grinding wheel to clean that up. Otherwise, I think the install would have taken about 5 minutes.

Regardless, I am VERY happy with this item. VERY happy.

I tried 3 different dead pedals from Amazon. Two were priced a lot cheaper and one was the same price as the Quadratec dead pedal. All three had some sort of issue and one of them caused interference with the brake pedal. This pedal is the solution you are looking for. A quality made product that just works. Installed on 2023 Freedom JT

Installed easily in less than 5 min. on my Gladiator. Works great; very solid with no shift or wigged. Should be standard on all Jeeps.

Amazing product and very easy to install! It made the daily driving more comfortable. I can’t wait to go off roading and have that extra support during the technical movements.

Have it on my JT so I know I will like it on my JL.

Part I needed

Why didn’t I do this sooner! This is more than a great mod, it is a requirement. Very easy install and incredibly well made. Highly recommend!

This is way better built than what I thought it was going to be.
Heavy gauge stainless steel!
We kept finding other brands, some priced about the same and some way cheaper.
Cheaper in no way means better…..reviews had complaints of other brands bending.
You could in no way bend or break and part of it. Great job Quadratec!

Next step in my modification process

Fantastic addition to my JL, I wish it came from the factory like this.

Solid construction, easy installation and makes a world of a difference. Much more comfortable to drive on a daily basis or long road trip. Gives you a place to brace off of when off roading as well.

Highly recommend this product.
