On top of the sport bar, tucked up under the softtop out of view, or on the side, both are in easy reach.

Here’s mine. Cost me $25 in materials and $55 for the extinguisher. I’ll have to redo the bracket to angle it down so I don’t hit it with the seat rail if I move the seat all the way forward

A question about fire extinguishers. Maybe the professionals can weigh in. The Weather Channel shows graphics like the one below, when telling you not to leave your kids or dog in the car on hot days. My First Alert ABC fire extinguisher, bought from Lowe's, says that it is suitable for use up to 120 degrees F. The Element web page says suitable for use up to 320 degrees F. I live in Florida, where it gets pretty hot. I have never actually measured the temperature inside the car after it has sat in the sun, although I probably will now. Is my First Alert going to blow up when it gets to be 140 degrees in the car? Or worse, probably, is it not going to work because it is hotter than 120 degrees F? Is this even something to be concerned about? Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this.

I lived in Phoenix for 11 years. I ran multiple extinguishers in my vehicles (ABC and Halotron) and never had an issue with them due to heat. I worked as a consultant to car dealerships, there were often ABC extinguishers mounted to poles in the parking lot or outside the buildings in direct sun. They worked when deployed. Once in a long while the o ring in the neck went bad and the extinguisher lost its charge, but that happened to the ones indoors too.

I have a 2.5# halotron waiting to be installed, I need to figure out my mounting method. I like it in reach when I’m strapped in, but the mounts in the driver footwell wouldn’t be comfortable for me since I run the seat all the way back. I thought maybe attached to the molle panel on the back of the passenger seat, but it would suck in the unlikely event anyone ever sat back there.

What mounting clips did you use? Those aren't silver like the ones on the Element website. Any concern with scratching the paint from vibration?

The clips are the plastic ones that come with the Element, I glued/screwed them to these magnets. They are coated, so far so good, no scratching on any of the surfaces I've mounted it to.

Good idea! Thanks for the link.

My fire extinguisher, security system and med kit all fits in the back.

Loading up for our week long overlanding trip in Colorado, decided to whip up a bracket for my fire extinguisher!

Can flip it around a few different orientations and put on the opposite side all together. This configuration keeps it high and tight!

I assume this will be listed for sale on your site shortly? Interested.
