DV8 Offroad Adjustable Dead Pedal Footrest Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT | STJL-03

Overview

The DV8 Offroad Adjustable Dead Pedal (STJL-03) is a driver-side footrest engineered specifically for the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2026 Gladiator JT — filling a notable gap left by the factory. Unlike its JK predecessor, the JL/JT platform ships with no factory-installed dead pedal, leaving drivers with nowhere to comfortably brace their left leg during long trail runs or highway miles. This heavy-duty, angle-adjustable footrest is the best dead pedal upgrade for the Jeep Wrangler JL, built from 1/4" steel and finished in a rugged micro-texture black powder coat for lasting durability and a factory-quality appearance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Adjustable Footrest Angle — Slotted mounting bolts allow you to dial in the perfect pedal angle for your driving position, eliminating left-leg fatigue on extended trails or road trips.
• Heavy-Duty 1/4" Steel Construction — Built to withstand constant foot pressure and the rigors of off-road use; far more rigid than plastic or rubber alternatives.
• Micro-Texture Black Powder Coat Finish — Provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a rugged, OEM-complementary aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the Jeep JL/JT interior.
• Textured Back Plate — Anti-slip texture on the mounting surface keeps the pedal firmly positioned against the footwell without requiring drilling or permanent modification.
• Fills the Factory Gap — The Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT do not include a dead pedal from the factory; this bolt-on upgrade solves that immediately.
• No-Drill, No-Modification Installation — Mounts directly to existing factory bolt locations using common hand tools; no cutting, drilling, or fabrication required.
• CARB Compliant — Meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance standards.
• 1-Year Limited Warranty — DV8 Offroad backs this product against defects in workmanship and materials for one full year from the date of purchase.
