Looking for pics or ideas on how to move my emergency brake pedal so I can mount my speaker pods.
Thank

Don't have pics, but you should be able to mount it pretty easily, maybe with just a bit of mods to the pedal.
The most common is to leave it attached at the firewall, but remove the bolt under the dash, push the assembly over until it clears, and then drill and bolt it in it's newer position.

You might even find that moving the pedal allows you to do the install then putting it back to it's original, or at least closer to original position, will work too.

Which pods are you using?

Bought the 5.25 fiber glass kick pod that the dealers sell. My speaker are a little deep and will a 1/2 speaker spacer for them to work. Going to have to move brake over about 1-2 inches I think

Yeah, that's why I was wondering. And thank too!
Most people I talk to say they don't have to mess with the pedal assembly. But I hear you on having to space it out to get deeper speakers in there. Changes everything.

I think you can still get the 2" you need with the method I mentioned, unless they're hitting in the back by the firewall mount. That'd be a bummer, as it's a lot more work than just twisting it over.

Good luck. Hoping it's a slam dunk.

With the space I will be good on wall clearance and I'm putting in my replacement dash as I do the speaker pods so it shouldn't be a issue then :) thanks for the input and solution

Cool. But as Broncos go, I'd say don't get too happy until you're relaxing to some good tunes!;)
