This might be a really stOOpid question...but I am so used to one in my other cars. Has anyone put one in the H2? I have never seen one in an auto...but I have not owned too many autos...

Seems like it would be pretty goofy looking given the height of the front seats and the angle to the pedals. Might come in handy if you are stretching for something in the back though. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

the one on the left! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
It is weird, I miss it - but I think it is only because my other cars have them.

I hear you - I feel it probably would be a waste...it is just that my left leg has not home! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

This has bugged me too. I had dead pedal positions for my left foot in 3 BMWs, 1 Porsche and my 1996 Montero. When I have time, I plan to relocate the electrical box at the left front of driver's footwell in my H2 and install a slim, discrete dead pedal. If you do it before I do, let me see how it turns out. If I'm first, I'll post pics.
Best regards,

Here is a DIY publication for creating your own dead pedal. It is for a Mercedes but you can get a good idea:
DEAD PEDAL PUBLICATION (http://www.slk32.com/pages/deadpedal/deadpedal.html)
You can also buy a universal kit here:

or here:

Thanks NJ. Finding those kinds of "odds n' end" parts is often the most time consuming part of the job.

I totally disagree. I'm constantly looking for a place to put my left foot, especially when going over rough terrain. I don't care if it looked stupid or not, function is what I'm looking for.

http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Nice! TXSUT, I just tossed that part in because I didn't want people to make fun of my if it was a bad idea! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
I am going to try to find something to put in there. Diamond tread comes to mind...
