Fire Extinguisher on uncut no roll bar. Where is the best location to mount

Thanks

Back when I was a kid folks would mount it sideways right under the driver's seat where the tank switcher was.

Those were kind of little guys though. It always seems like it would get in the way of my big feet.

On the downward slope of the tranny hump is good and very quick to retrieve.

that is where I have mine mounted. since I run with no windows most of the time on the soft top, I am going to put on the rear on the roll cage just above the side rail

Always on a roll bar as I vividly remembering seeing in the back of a 1966 Mustang Cobra on the dealership showroom.

Got one mounted just in front of the driver's seat and the other on the side of passenger's seat. wanted them easily accessible in a hurry...

On the rear kicker of the roll bar... With a metal bracket and double straps...

I would say mount it somewhere it is easy to access. You never know when something might go wrong and you need it fast!

Put it where you can reach it from either seat. Mine is tucked under the front of the console where it can be grabbed by a driver or passenger.

/\/\ What they say X3
Does you no good if you can't get to it quickly and easily.

Not a great picture, but you can see where I have mine between the driver's seat and the door. It's readily accessible but still completely out of the way.

I need to put one on the passenger side as well.

 

[Dickie]

Thanks. Ill think on it

where you can reach it strapped in.

I was stuck on a hill once power steering fluid was on fire on the header, I had previously removed extinguisher next to the seat, but had one on the tranny tunnel, could not reach it while holding breaks and sucked back in the seat, finally was able to get it and rip it out of the mount before my buddy pee'd on my motor.

Ease of access for sure.. and strapped in as suggested

Kind of a cruddy picture, but you can see the extinguisher sticking out in front of the driver's seat. I want easy access while standing outside the truck.

If you get one the right size it will tuck right between the seats......this one is a Buckeye Halotron extinguisher.

It is best to mount them laying down. The motion of driving will keep the contents loose. If you mount them standing the bounce of the road compacts the powder in the cylinder. Every so often you will have to beat the thing upside down to free up the contents. Best to mount it laying down or while your truck is on fire everyone will think your nuts beating your tire with an upside down fire extinguisher.

Within reach of the driver, anywhere else is stupid unless it is a secondary extinguisher.

I have 3. On on the outboard side of each front seat and a bigger one at the rear driver corner on rollbar.

Twice a year i beat on them with a mallet so the powder doesn't settle. I really need to invest in CO2 at some point.

Seat location is good. So is Trans hump. This makes it accessible to passenger as well. Sometimes we over think things. Form over function is an issue!

That's where I put mine too, by drivers seat
