The throttle pedal on all 6 cylinder models can be shortened right behind
the pad surface about 2", making a huge difference in right leg position,
therefore driving comfort.

Not being near my BJ8 at the moment, Is it possible to move the pedals
forward or shorten the pedal arms (maybe re-weld them to fit further
forward). Even at 5'10", I hit my thighs on the dash getting in some times
(then I added dual gauges on a drop down near the counsel to limit even more
space). Once in everything is fine.
