Default Trouble Reaching Pedals ?

Looking for a solution to a problem, my wife is having trouble reaching gas pedals in my jeep, she has short legs I tried stretching her did not work..,,, I thought of putting a block on the floor but if I drive it would be in my way,,,, so I only have two ideas first do not let her drive.. As much as I love driving my jeep a break once in a while is needed, other option trade her in for a taller one !!! Please help don't want to use option two !!!!

Maybe you could put a Jeep sticker on the side? Also helps her getting into the Jeep after a lift kit install.

Maybe you could get someone to cut and re-weld the pedals out several more inches. My dad had this done with a gocart when I was little because I couldn't reach the pedals. I don't see why it wouldn't work with the jeep. You'll just have to sit back maybe a few inches father than you normally do which really is no big deal at all.

Yes the lift kit is in the garage that's a whole other issue... Like the boot idea could be multi purpose ! !!!😀

Butt seriously she is short 5ft on a good day seat is all the way forward and all the way down she can reach the pedals it's more that she has to keep her foot elevated to keep pushing the has pedal brake and clutch is fine once on the highway the cruise helps I will take a look at the gas pedal and see if it can be modified.. Thanks keep the ideas coming 👍
