to work out how much i needed i used wood and duck tape...really...
then when i realised it was 3 inches optimum i surfed the 'net...
saw lots of 'bolts and plates' devices...very complicated...

ended up finding a very simple and light...folded aluminium device...
got in touch with the seller and blew his mind...
i'm in ireland...he's in south dakota...he was amazed...
great guy in Black Hills ... some kind of van outfitters...

super device...i'll post a pic if you like...let me know...

 

Yes please post a write up on your mod. I have everything within perfect reach, and comfort is great in my JK. The only moan I have is the stupid clutch and gas pedals have too much travel.

If I scoot my seat up, then my knee hits the steering wheel when I want to take my foot off the clutch. 2 inches back and it is uncomfortable trying to push the clutch and gas pedals all the way down. This is a whole leg movement doing simple driving tasks. It should be able to be done while having your heel firmly planted on the floorboard. This is not the case in our JK's though.

Anyone else have a remedy or a company who makes a modification?

 

I'm 5'4", although I do have pretty long legs for my height. When I first changed from a TJ to a JK five years ago, I noticed that there was more of a reach to the pedals in the JK. That meant I had to sit closer to the steering wheel to reach. I guess I've just gotten used to it over the years. Still, it's not the ideal sitting position, but it works.

 

Sure! If you can post a pic, that would be great!

 

I'd like to see the mod also. I am running since one year and a half with a small stack or rubber (old tire tube) wrapped around the gas pedal with duct tape and some zip ties. Looks awful, but it does the job.

No offense to whoever is comfy, but for me, the designer of the driver's area in the JK was inspired by ...



No other way to get something so non-ergonomic

 

i'll take pix tonite and post the mod...no worries...

forgot to mention...another good thing about this fix...
it can be removed in seconds...and refitted just as quickly...

so if someone else wants to drive your JK ... [horror] ...
you can put it back to stok for them real quick if they want...

 

sorry that pix took a while...i had a bug...

bracket is from black hills vans ... rapid city ... south dakota... !!!
i had the guy glue two plastic blocks on top of the bracket to make it 3 inches high...
then i glued on top of those the ally gas pedal from my VW camper that i drove in the 80's...

it is a perfect fit...drives really well...and can be removed in seconds if i need to... !!!

if you get in touch with Paul there he'll sort you out... [i have number if you need it]...
tell him Simon in belfast sent you...he'll flip ...

[third picture is it in place...obviously...my JK is of course right hand drive]
