Xj Swing Pedal Install

Has anyone here installed the XJ swing pedals? I picked up a set recently and need input on how to do it. Pics would be good.

Thanks, Jim

 

I have a set sitting on my garage floor, been tripping over them for years. I think the biggest hurdle is how to support the dashboard side of the assembly, and to make sure the pedals swing properly

 

I'm 95% done with YJ pedal swap.

Mount them High.



Chopped to fit under the dash. We added a plate to the assembly that bolts to the Cowl behind the dash.



Most of the details on the last couple pages of my build. Scott's '66 Make It Driveable Build.

 

Good morning Jim,

So, I think I still probably want to upgrade my brakes to a dual master cylinder, and probably a swing pedal of some type, just for safety's sake, but I have to say that I'm pretty happy with my 71-up cable type clutch that removes the mechanical linkage between the frame and tcase/bell housing? I figure I can just skid plate the frame pivot like Stan Fuller(Grampa's jeep) did and carry a spare clutch cable?

I had a set of roxor swing pedals and brake/clutch assemblies sitting around here for a while, but honestly my jeep worked so well, I just never prioritized them.

What's your main thought behind swing pedals Jim? Just curious what your thought-process is?

 

My reasons are,
So much easier to fill the M/C.
get rid of the clutch/brake linkage that can bind up when wheeling.....no fun!
Have had friends brake/clutch linkage get ripped off from rocks or down tree limbs
Swing pedals open "possibilities" such as....
body lift.....just enough to get to those #$&# bell housing bolts OR run a F-134 motor with a holley 1904 carb W/O hood clearance issues.
makes motor conversions easier.....exhaust systems, ETC
Had swing pedals in my 2A years ago and really liked them.
Hope that helps, Jim
