Great
It’s perfect. Simple, sturdy. It’s off the floor so I can use it or not. I’m 5’7 so I used the closest hole to the driver. The front of my foot rests on it, heel on the floor. Very comfortable.

Good so far, but assembly is a challenge.
The pieces that come with the unit are sturdy, and they lined up. Assembled, there's a bit of play between the pedal & side mount. It's only been a couple of weeks, so I hope that play doesn't work the single mounting nut. Because of the location's access, this was a bear to assemble & tighten up. I could only get 1 hand at a time on it. A big tip - I used a small spring clamp to hold the part with the threaded rods in place so it didn't fall out & I could gets the washers and nuts started. Also, the back, side nut can't get a socket on it with the tight spacing.Once it was in, I'm happy with it!!

You can make it work.
It is going to do the job. Price is low so it was no surprise I had to make it fit. The dead pedal backer bracket with the bolts welded on it didn’t line up with the holes from the Jeep factory. I used a drill with a bit to remove a little metal from the Jeep. The bracket goes on the outside of the Jeep support piece it fits on (the one you have to enlarge the holes in order for the bolts/studs to fit through). The only photo of that indicates this is the one the shows it installed. There are 3 positions for the pedal. Except I’m pretty sure you can’t use the middle one. I used the first one so the dead pedal sit more or less in line with the brake pedal. The farthest one was too far for my liking (32” inseam for reference). Using this first slot you have to install one nut behind the pedal without being able to see it which is a little bit of a pain.Tips:1) The bolts are coated with the same stuff as the rest of the assembly so run the nuts on and off a little ways before having to do it upside down and backwards without being able to see one of them in my case.2) Tie a piece of string to the backer bolt bracket so you can easily retrieve it when you drop it.Good luck

5 minute install in my 2020 Gladiator READ
The product pictures for the type-c bracket show the support bracket installed backwards. Follow the install instructions posted in the international review by Nash Djordjevic and it goes smoothly. I am 5’11” and used the middle of the 3 possible positions, which places my left foot about 2” past the brake pedal - at the same level as the gas pedal. Perfect for me. If you are shorter or want the pedal positioned even with the brake pedal, use the position closest to the drivers seat. NOTE: the most difficult nut to attach is the one that protrudes through the Jeep wall bracket and sits behind the footrest. Attach the pedal to the “swoosh” bracket first. The bracket with 2 permanent bolts sits behind the side wall bracket in your Jeep and protrudes through it. I pushed one bolt slightly through and attached the nut a couple of turns to hold it, then pushed the other through. I also used a piece of duct tape to hold the bolt bracket in place while I removed the nut I had attached during placement and slid the attached the footrest bracket to the protruding bolts. After the footrest bracket is placed on the protruding bolts, I applied blue thread lock, attached the closest 10mm washer and nut (easiest to access) then fiddled with the other that sits behind the footrest.

Avoid this garbage!
Item took two attempts to install, and had to cut the mounting plate in order to fit. The overall design is terrible you need to place a small bracket behind the mount and then place the plate with the pedal attached to it on top. The problem with the pedal having to be attached prior to install is that you can no longer reach behind to insert and tighten the back nut. Unless you are some alien species with double wrists, or you are the size of an infant to a 2 year old.If you have the mopar trailer brake controller you will need to cut off a good portion of the outside mounting plate within millimeters of the forward mounting hole, otherwise it will not fit next to the controllers mounting bolt. I also found the it was easier to get 2 additional nuts and tighten the back bracket in first, then put the top bracket over the two nuts. It causes the pedal to stick out 1/8" further, but it kept the inner bracket from falling in while I tried to align and install the outer bracket (with the pedal hanging off of it).Do yourself a favor and avoid this like the plague. Its Chinesium garbage and not worth your time and sanity to try to install.

Missing parts
This review is more for the seller rather than the product. The first time I ordered the pedal it didn’t arrive and was listed as “not in deliverable condition” I figured it was damaged in shipping, got a refund and didn’t worry too much. I ordered it a second time and what did arrive was the pedal but no bracket or hardware to attach it to the jeep! The package was sealed and in good condition so it didn’t fall out in shipping. Now with all that out of the way, the part that I did receive seems to be of good quality, the pedal is thick and has a really nice finish to it.

Might be talking about 2 different pieces of hardware here...
I ordered mine for a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The hardware I received looks nothing like some of the pictures in the reviews. Mine came with one bolt and then 3 nuts. The 1 bolt holds the pedal piece to a piece that looks like a "fish-hook" plate. Another skinny bracket with 2 permanently attached bolts goes behind a piece of firewall metal on the side. The "fish-hook" plate and pedal then go in front and you tighten with the 2 remaining nuts.Very easy to install. Other review comments about attaching pedal to "fish-hook" plate first is good advice (you can set the pedal depth to 3 options). I'm 6 foot and middle option is the one I like.Seems firm to me, as a portion of my heal will always be on the mat, with the rest of my foot resting on the pedal. What I like most about it over others is that you will not have any issues removing your mats. The bottom of the pedal sits above the mat. I'm very happy with the purchase and would buy again. If I find later that the bracket bends over time, I will adjust my review. So far seems pretty firm.
