OBX Pedals

Anyone install these pedals on their Tacoma or 4Runner? I'm having the hardest time getting the Gas pedal on my manual Tacoma. The break and clutch went on just fine but the Gas pedal sucks to get on! Here's a pic...

I'm pretty sure all OBX's are clamp-on. The only review I've ever read about the install procedure remarked that you need to be careful to tighten the clamps evenly as you go...

What kind of problem are you having with the accelerator pedal install???...

There's no screws. It's basically a rubber molded backing that attached to the OEM parts. The brake and clutch pedals replace the rubber one's. Those were a cinch to get on. The accelerator pedal goes over the existing pedal. I eventually got it on but it's not as snug as the clutch and brake pedals. Honestly it was the biggest pain in the ass of any install I've done on my truck. I'll post pictures of them later. Good news is I think they're on snug enough now. They're a nice look and feel as they keep to the size of the stock pedals and are sold by Toyota as an "approved" accessory. Anyways... I'll get pictures and let you all know how they hold up. Worst case scenario is that I'll just screw them in if it doesn't hold. Thanks for your responses!

Here are those pics. Also, the accelerator pedal mounted slightly crooked only because the stock pedal was crooked (it's at a slant for ergonomics). It really sands out with these pedals but oh well. Here are some pics of how the pedals look like; front, back, and side views:

I don't know why but the gas pedal was a pain in the arse to get on. I had to use a tool to pry the rubber lips over the pedal. It was not pleasant especially with how easy the brake and clutch pedals went on. It still doesn't seat perfectly on the gas pedal but it's on their pretty snug. Quick question... on your rig is the gas pedal (OBX) angled slightly? Thanks.

Did you do like the instructions said and spray the pedel with some soapy water first? I did that with my set of pedals for the Tacoma and they went on very easily.

Sure did... still had a really tough time fitting the gas pedal on. Anyone that has these pedals installed on their Taco... could you take a picture of them and post it? I want to see how they look compared to mine. Thanks.

This may not work. I think you have to be a member of imagestation to view it. Email me if you can't see them and I'll send them to you. I have a few more as well.
