For $35 on ebay, there's some great compact extinguishers that come filled and are rechargeable. Got mine on the gate

Good prices and ideas, but none of these look like dry chemical extinguishers. Just wanted to make aware you run the risk of frying your jeep's electrical system using cheap fire extinguishers.

These ebay ones are dry chemicle and intended only for auto/marine engine use Also have different colors avlbl. The mounting bracket works great, no movement at all with a quick release latch

Although I have one, I feel as though in a situation that is very bad I'll let the jeep burn. Guess that's what insurance Is for. Don't know
