| When I test drove the X one of my few complaints was the lack of a "dead pedal" for my left foot. I see a lot of folks out there coming up with machine turn door locks fancy brake and gas pedals etc. How about a well designed left foot "dead pedal"? |

| I think the dead pedal will be hard to install as the parking brake actually blocks where the dead pedal should go. I always have to shove my left food under the parking brake to stretch out my legs. |

Your right, but, there's some clever folks out there maybe they'll come up with something. That dead pedal is really important when you're off-roading. |

| Actually, it was very easy. I just got a dead pedal from an 86accord, bent it a little, and drilled holes through the wheel well, bolted it on, sprayed some rust proofing on it, and it feels so muchbetter than that thing they put there now. Do a "dead pedal "search. I think it was first done to an oddysey by someone. That is where I got the idea. You should see the arm rests I made. (yes I like to be comfortable on long trips). |

| Interesting. I never really felt that the dead pedal was "missing". I find the "rest" area on the MDX is a perfect location for my foot even on long trips. Mind you, I'm 6'1. I guess it's a subjective thing. |

| My opinion was based on a 4 hour test drive, so maybe it'll be just fine once I get my X and have a chance to put a few miles on it. However, my first thought was I didn't have a place for my left foot. I'm 6' 4" and generally have a tough time finding room for my legs. I've heard other folks on the forum express the same thoughts on the dead pedal and wondered if anyone had come up with a good idea. It appears they have. Thanks for the though. |

| Thanks for the link, looks pretty staight forward. Once I get my X I'll have an option if I don't like the setup. |
