What type of extinguisher do people go with? I understand powder is better for putting out the fire, but foam won’t leave the same amount of mess.
Show me your fire extinguisher mount

I used a similar mount to the ones pictured above, except with rubber straps that wrap fully around the extinguisher. I also used a larger 8.3 lb extinguisher. It does not interfere with the fold and tumble, and if placed correctly, does not interfere with the slider adjustment either. The rubber straps form a positive engagement, so I'm not worried about the bottle coming loose in a high energy collision.
Once I finally get around to printing a larger 3D printer, I may try and print a newer low profile mount out of polycarbonate to see if I can save even more space.

How many pound is that extinguisher is that? I think I'll steal your idea! thanks

I have mine mounted on the side of my seat. I used a bracket I found at work and rivnuts in the floor.
Thanks Jerry! Our jeep group had a meeting about switching to the 5lb over the smaller units after one of our jeeps rolled and caught fire. The 5lb & and the smaller units both will work for about the same time but the advantage of the 5lb is twice the amount of agent on the fire and the longer hose helps better target it on the fire source. This mount looks like a great solution to support the larger unit while keeping it out of way yet still easily accessable if needed.
Good safety tip, thanks
