gx470 drivers raised foot rest

[Ronnie2]

2007 GX470: I would like to remove the drivers left side raised rubber foot rest. Im 6-foot 3-inchs tall, and could use the extra leg room. Is there anything under the foot rest?

Short of cutting the floor panel, I don't know how you can get rid of the "dead" pedal. It's not just molded into the carpet but the underside sound deadening pad and floor pan too.
