I think WOL has one in one of his Jeeps and did a write-up. I figure it's one of those simple inexpensive mods that once you have it you can't imagine not having one. Definitely on my to do list...I just never seem to get around to ordering it.

Wife got me one for Christmas and I love it. Had it on in ten minutes after opening the box, you won't be disappointed.

What's the benefit of a dead pedal? Just a place to rest your left foot?

its just a confort option for people with automatics. If you have a manual, then your left foot will be busy

This will be my next purchase, as I too am going to be taking a long trip soon. The last trip I was wishing I had one.

Default Love it!!

I've had a M.O.R.E. Dead pedal for about 15k miles. It's hard to believe how much difference it makes on a road trip. I would not give mine up.
