My setup.

That lil thang is adorbs.
Love the molle panel there though. Got a link by any chance? Would be a great spot to mount my first aid kit and/or tactical shovel thing!

That’s well designed, keeping it directly over the roll bar. At first I thought you drilled a rivnut hole until a read your description. Is there enough thread in bottom to hold a larger bottle or is it more stabilizing?

I like it, nicely done! Are you considering providing to the Bronco community for sale? What might you require for price?

Thanks!

If you can scrounge up a 2 inch wide by 8 inch long by 1/4 or 3/8 inch thick piece of aluminum or steel bar stock, three M8 flathead machine screws, a M8 tap, and a little spray paint, it’s easy enough to fabricate this adapter to accommodate whatever extinguisher bracket’s screw pattern you happen to have.

Yup, no drilling rivnuts into the roll bar, and no unsightly screw clamp wrapping around the roll bar either. Sorta the whole point of the adapter.

.... If you are on a budget or planning to get an ABC, just go for a purple K, since fuel/electrical fires are the main concern in cars, not class A (in my opinion).....

Unless you're going out into the boonies where grass or brush fires might happen by accident. Then an extinguisher with an A rating, plus a shovel, are great ideas.

I carry a 2.5lb ABC dry chem extinguisher. After my bartact fabric/Velcro mount disintegrated from the AZ heat, I installed a mount on the driver seat frame. Someone else mentiomes Bracketeer so I use that along with a two strap extinguisher mount.

I thought about that location but decided my feet would be hitting it too often. I have my seat farther forward than you do. .

I carry 2 standard automotive fire extinguishers attached to the rear roll bars, an Element attached to the overhead molle panel and a fire blanket.

I really like the seat location for functionality, but as Others, my big boots (6'8" size 15) would be cumbersome working around the mount. I think I'll still get the seat mount for other useful holster mounts. At that time I'll explore if an extinguisher could fit.

The alternative is roof top Molly panel... which is an addition and decision on which one.
I found my ideal Molly roof mount by Epic Adventure... but they closed doors a few months ago while they're going through the process to relocate company from Canada to USA. Last check, maybe by December.

Now that's nicely stowed gear... curious what's in a few of those containers.
Nice setup, including the fire blanket. Have your thought about Halotron / Halo added to kit?

Yeah my big feet will clip it every now and then getting in/out, but I can manage. It tucks far enough in that it doesn't bother while driving. It is much more accessible here though, compared to being strapped to the roll bar.

In the harbor freight boxes is the compressor, the safe jack and the tool kit. In the black boxes on the shelf is a jump starter, an endoscope, an electronic torque wrench and fuses, and in the Roto-Pax boxes in the attic is a first aid kit and then various tools and items in the black one.
