Foot switch for starter

I am thinking of going back to a foot start switch in my Jeep. I am wondering what those hear on the forum think of them? Are they annoying and should I stick with my current set up or is it worth the trade.

Just my opinion - But I really like dash push button for the starter on our trail Jeep (12 volts).  I have a floor starter on the restored Jeep (6 volts).

I think a foot starter switch is a cool vintage feature if you are only going to drive your rig on and off the trailer at shows, or down tbe street to the Dairy Queen. If you are ever going to use it on any challenting terrain, trying to manage 3 pedals and a button with two feet while hanging on a rock face a few inches from doom will convince you that one less gadget for your feet to manage is the better choice.

All good advise, I have jeeps both ways. The only advantage of a foot starter is the COOL factor. I would not change one still set up with the foot starter but I have not opted to change one back either.  As Stan has pointed out there are times that the foot starter is hard to manage.

It's like the "Millennial anti-theft device"-- a manual transmission.  Extra security.

My brother tried to get to me by having me drive his M38 to the barn. I have driven a lot of old trucks. I knew where the starter button was. Better luck next time Bill.

I’ve got both the key starter and foot starter.  Just wired them parallel.  I definitely wanted the cool factor foot starter, but the “anti-doom” convenience of the key starter has saved my bacon more times than I can count.
