Video Review & Installation

Hey, guys. So today we're checking out the RedRock 4x4 Dead Pedal Assembly in matte black fitting all 2018 and newer JL Wranglers. So if you're looking for some small interior mods that are going to be affordable and add some comfort and functionality to the interior of your Wrangler, this is going to be a great choice to take a look into. So this dead pedal assembly is going to mount right in the driver's side foot well and it's gonna add some comfort and a place to rest your foot when you're not using it whether your Jeep has a clutch or not. Now this is made of a durable steel plate material and what I really like about this is that it's gonna come in multiple pieces so you're able to adjust this to your fit and however you wanna rest your foot inside your JL.Not to mention it's gonna have some cutouts on the front adding a sporty look to your interior and is gonna have a nice texture black powder coat finish on top not only to add some ruggedness to your interior but also to protect that steel underneath from any rust or corrosion. So you can ensure that this dead pedal assembly is going to hold up in the long run. Now this is going to be very affordable like I mentioned before at roughly $35 and I really don't think you can beat it for the comfort and really the quality that you're getting out of this product. Now in comparison to some other choices on the page, there are gonna be other foot rests available. However, they may mount up in different locations and they may not be as large as this one. Now some may mount up to the hinges when you have your doors off or some may mount up a little bit higher. However, this is going to mount right in the back and rest on the floor and it's going to have some pretty big surface area to rest your foot.Now I personally think for $35 adding some comfort as well as functionality and some interior styling, that is going to be a great choice to take a look into. So install's gonna be a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter. Incredibly easy to install. You're gonna need some very basic hand tools to get the job done and it's gonna take you no longer than 30 minutes to do it. So speaking of the install, let's jump into that now.The tools that I used for my install were an impact wrench, the provided Allen key, 13-millimeter deep socket, a 10-millimeter wrench and a three-eighths inch drive ratchet. So before we head over to the Jeep, we do have to put our dead pedal assembly together. Obviously, this big piece is where you are going to rest your foot. That's gonna connect to our connecting bracket and then this piece right here is going to be the bracket that attaches it to our Wrangler. So first we're gonna take our connecting piece, put our dead pedal to the side and there's going to be multiple mounting locations as well as adjustable mounting locations on the connecting bracket. Now you can put these wherever you'd like and you can also adjust these after the fact. I'm just going to put right in the middle and we can take our provided hardware and secure this down.So what we're gonna do is snug these up. We're not gonna completely tighten them down because this is adjustable and we wanna make sure that it has the best fit when it is inside our Wrangler. So I'm gonna take the provided Allen key as well as a 10-millimeter wrench and we're gonna tighten that up.So now we can take our dead pedal assembly and attach that to that connecting bracket. And again, we will be able to adjust these. So this is going to go around the connecting bracket and there's actually gonna be threads on these two mounts here.So I'm gonna take that provided hardware, thread that in to the mount through the dead pedal assembly. Take the provided Allen key and thread that in. Now again, we will be able to adjust this once we get it on the Jeep. So we wanna make sure that it's snug and not completely tight.Now we can head over to the Jeep and attach our dead pedal assembly. So now that we're inside the Jeep in the driver's side foot well area, we will locate the stud with a 13-millimeter nut on it that we're gonna have to remove. Now this is gonna be just left of the brake pedal and it should be the color of your Wrangler. Now I'm gonna take a 13-millimeter deep socket, my impact wrench and I'm going to go ahead and remove that.Then we can take our dead pedal assembly and attach that there. Thread on that nut. And make sure that this is sitting where we want it. Now actually, before we tighten down that nut, I'm going to kinda tighten up this stud here or this bolt here on the side of our dead pedal assembly. I'm gonna hold it up where I want it and then take the provided Allen key and tighten it up on the side.Now while we're here, I'm just gonna move it over and tighten up the other side as well. So it should be solid in place. If you haven't already, what you can do is tighten down these back two bolts and then what we can do is tighten up that 13-millimeter nut. We have to go back and tighten those up. We can take your 10-millimeter wrench and your provided Allen key and snug those up.So after both of your brackets are tight what we can do is tighten up that 13-millimeter nut. Now I'm going to take a hand ratchet at this point since the dead pedal is in the way of my impact wrench and that same 13-millimeter socket. I'm just gonna tighten that up.Right. Once it's tightened up into place, then you're all set to go. So that's gonna wrap it up for my review and install.

What is a dead pedal on a Jeep?

A dead pedal doesn't move, but it does function, and it can help your off-road driving. Stuart A. BourdonAuthor. Oct 18, 2019. See all 3 photos.

What does a dead pedal do?

The dead pedal serves two main purposes in cars. It acts as a footrest for the left foot, for the comfort of the driver. In cars with manual transmissions, it helps keep the driver from riding the clutch, a dangerous practice of keeping the clutch partially disengaged while driving.

Where is the dead pedal in a car?

The dead pedal is the place on the left side of the floor under the driver seat that looks like an accelerator, but is just floor board underneath.
