The place they got the cladding from is:

Churner Isuzu
Vienna, VA

703/893-0800

I have not called them to find out how extensive their inventory is. I do know that they did not have the steering box so the availability of the cladding may have been a fluke.

I towed the trailer home from work last Thursday. That was the first time since the accident. Talk about a stressful drive!!! I didn't take it over 60mph the entire drive. Got home safe & sound though.

I'm starting to wonder now though if the ABS was wrongfully blamed and if it might have been caused by the ol' foot on both the brake & gas issue that we all know & love so well. I've been trying to re-train my foot ever since to move all the way onto the brake (lift & press rather than slide & push).

Tom I removed the rubber pedal cover from my brake pedal and replaced it with an after market pedal which i drilled new mounting holes in to move the pedal over as far as possible. Works pretty well and looks better too!

The PO installed metal covers on both pedals. Thanks for the advice though, I'll look to see if the cover can be moved over.

I have taught myself to drive with my heel under the brake pedal, and I turn my foot out to reach the tiny gas pedal. That way, my foot is always oriented with bias toward the brake pedal.

That's what I've been doing for years but I've noticed that my foot has been getting lazy as I get older. I tend to only catch the right edge of the brake with the center of my foot. It's hard to undo 35 years of training but I'm getting there. I'm thinking that my lazy foot is partly caused by not driving a stick shift anymore (not in the past 6 years).

35 years of training....that puts you at like...4+17x39.5/2 + 6.13+3.93 well, by my calculations, that puts you at like 117 years old

How long did it take you to get used to holding a steering wheel instead of reigns?! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Oh come on you have been aroumd lomg enough to know that if you look through my gallery you can find pictures of ANYTHING

If you look at the location of the screws you can see the pedal is cheated away from the gas pedal
