Tall guys need a little more legroom???

Want to take the cramp out of your right leg ? I have a modified gas petal and arm that will give you 7/8 " more leg room and take the cramped angle away. A pure joy at a reasonable price. Can't see it until youcrawl down on the floor.

10 min easy install.

I'm 6'6" and the leg room isn't bad. Sure it would be nice to have more room, but the only thing I really wish I had was a telescoping steering wheel so it's not so far away.

It depends where your height is regarding the need for this gas petal. I have leg length at 6'3" and I thought if was horrible on long rides, but better than most.

I cured it with my gas petal mod. The car is sold (drive an FX35 now) but I saved the modified petal and have a lot of support pictures. If interested in buying let me know.

Want to know what this feels like? Sit in the car with your foot lightly on the petal (like common cruising. Then hold the petal half way down for a while and see how that feels … better, huh? With this you still get full throttle range.

I am 6'7 and legroom is...ample. I sometimes take my shoes off when driving, which is good for about 3/4 inch of legroom. These cars are HUGE inside, and is one of the reasons I bought mine.

I am interested in this mod, as every little bit helps. Do you have pics?

6'5 and i fit in pretty nicely. I don't think that little distance will make any difference for me though. I need like an extra 5" on the gas pedal for full comfort.

Btw, I cannot fit in a pathfinder, so the max is really huge..

Totally. 6'5" here, and the legroom is not the problem, the lack of telescoping steering wheel is!

Well, I did all the research to figure out how to post photos on this site and I give up. Write me at robert.granell@snet.net and give me an address to send photos to. I have one ready-to-go modified gas petal to sell, but also have the print of the mod part that I created and can have my local machine shop make them for me as needed. Believe me, the difference of the petal placement is a godsend for tall guys. Cheap, and reversible fix. It took me less than 10 min to restore my max before trade-in.

I'm 6'4" and have to leave to seatback near-verticle so I can comfortably reach the steering wheel.
