Fire Extinguisher Recommendation?
I was looking around for a fire extinguisher to mount in my jeep. There are plenty of threads on how to mount them, but I didn't find any on which to buy.
Anyone want to throw out some recommendations? I am amazed at how many different types there are to choose from! What am I looking for in an automotive extinguisher?

You want one that is labeled ABC. There are 3 types of fires. An ABC handles them all. Get a big one. It's all you've got if you have a problem. Mine is Jose clamped to the angled upright on the rear if the rollbar

Ebay has some nice affordable refillable chemical automotive/marine fire extinguishers for $40ea, or $65 for two. They're small, so I went with two. A few different colors, pre-filled, come with a quick release mount you can put just about anywhere. One on my seat, one on my gate.

Forget cool.
An extinguisher is not meant to be cool and the size of that extinguisher won't put out and engine compartment fire trust me. Best to equip yourself with at least a 5 1/2 lb b/c extinguisher. Rechargable are great but most of the time disposable is the cheapest.
