This would be nice to have for an automatic. I'm so used to driving manuals.
 
I like that. Wonder if it would work on my 99? I haven't even looked at the side to see if there are any kind of mounting bolts or what not on it. Guess I will have to go check it out next time I drive it. :D

Thats what it looks like to me as well. Does it fit a TJ? Looks much nicer than the Ford Mustang pedal that I have yet to install. I would rather have this one.
 
The dead pedal was $10 I think and an extra $0.56 in fasteners. I use it a lot. Even with my bulky safety boots

I paid about that as well. It makes a big difference in driving comfort. @jjvw graciously shared a lot of photos. It nearly looks OEM which makes it all that much better.

Those are really a nice setup. I picked up a old set of these dead peddles and having them are great off roading but to be effective they need to use the floor for support. Which makes cleaning the floor mats a pain.

You should do the @jjvw and @tworley mod with a 90s mustang dead pedal. It looks factory. I got one installed in my Jeep and it's great.

Thanks for the GREAT idea!

I just picked one of these up from the junkyard. It came from a 1989 Mustang and I also grabbed the bolts.

So is there anything special that I need to do to put this in my 1998 TJ? Is it as simple as drilling two holes and screwing the bolts in? Is the sheetmetal strong enough to hold it?
 
Figure out where your foot wants to be. Many factory pedals are positioned about midpoint between the gas and the brake. Others like it at about equal to the gas pedal. That's where I find it most comfy. That way both legs are in the same position.
