I went with this one. Took a bit of working to get just right as the straps were a bit on the long side. So I pulled them through the opposite side as well to get rid of a lot of the slack

Good advise. I've never heard that before. I'll do just that to the ones I have in my home today.
For fire inside an RV the Element would be a great choice. For an outdoor fire??
For an engine fire I think I'd like an Element within hands reach and a ABC in the back.

that's exactly my main concern. Truck is insured, but if I'm out in the dry wilderness and something somehow starts a fire I'll do what I can to make it stop before we get an other giant wild fire - with me roasting somewhere in the middle of it. Or an other couple thousand houses burned and people killed. It's hot and dry in the mountains in summer.

I am not a firefighter but I have military experience with aircraft and both avionics and weapons systems...and when in a confined space and personal safety during a fire as well as the least possible amount of damage to your aircraft (or tank or whatever) while flying or trapped inside dry chemical = not good.

If I wasn't so concerned about space, or having to run to the back of my vehicle to extract my extinguisher from my roll bar, I'd go with this setup:

But fingers crossed the Element will suffice in a pinch.
A few quick notes-
Here is a photo of my E100 and E50. Both can easily fit by the drivers feet in a mount.. That is my plan for one of them. The other will go in the rear on my roll bar most likely. The E100 DOES NOT fit in the glove box at all, not even sideways. The E50 fits the glove box, well, like a glove.

Score! If you buy the 1-2 inch Quick Fist rubber mounts, you can do this...to your seat adjuster rail. It takes like seconds to flip the straps off.A few quick notes-

Put this in today. E50 in back. E100 up front. I used elastic Lassos for securing. They won't harm the paint. They are also available in black, but I had these laying around. I premade the rubber fists with the Lassos and threw them on. Very secure. It's not bouncing anywhere.

So many options!

I was wondering how those awnings would mount to a soft top bronco. Are you selling those on your site?

Naw they are like $100 from amazon. It's some no-name brand I found that had good reviews.

Love the portability! And the fact that they have a pretty infinite shelf-life.I've had my element for a couple of years now.

Quick access to a good shovel is better IMHO than a fire extinguisher out here in Central Oregon, because 1) by the time you get to it (assuming it was not your rig that started it) it will be too big for the usual home depot dry chem which lasts like 15 seconds, and 2) the soil is very silty and easy to dig up and spread in a fan as you throw it on the flames, so every bit as effective.
For Yip I'm buying another Halotron (https://www.h3rperformance.com) because I've heard numerous times that the powder residue is corrosive and effectively impossible to clean up (read the instructions about using a brush and damp cloth to remove the residue and then look at your engine bay!). The Halotron cost a lot more, but zero cleanup and very effective. Something to consider...
