+1.

I'm running the same holder (uses velro straps) on my rear roll bar. If there's a fire, first thing I'm doing is getting OUT of my Jeep.

I use a Kidde Class B/C extinguisher that I got from Lowes for $20. B/C is all you need for a vechile unless you've made a large part of it out of wood.

 

I think the reason for clubs requiring A is because of a brush fire from the cats in longer grasses.

 

Which clubs? I've not seen that as a requirement before and if that's the case I'll need to swap up to a A/B/C. I remember from my HazMat training that class A was totally unnessicary for a vehicle fire and in fact not desirable at all due to the foaming agent. Dry Chem or CO2 were recommended.

 

Good question Redneck! Someone with an insurance background or some of our firefighter member's can surely provide a better answer but here's what I'm thinking for soft top owners...

Assuming most fires start in the front engine compartment, it seems logical to put your extinguisher as far away from the fire as possible but still have easy access to it. So, mine is on the rear roll bar right next to the window. Even if the Jeep is upside down, all I have to do is get out, unzip the side window and pull it out. I went with the nylon web strap type so it can be pulled out in a hurry.

If I'm wrong assuming most fires start in the front, maybe it would be better to put it in the cockpit somewhere??? I've seen them in TJ's in that space between the seat and the door in a floor mounted bracket.

Not sure where hard top owners put theirs. Especially if you have a tire carrier.

 

Here works fine. (Old pic)

 

I use a Purple K. Kind of overkill in a way, but it puts out everything. Granted it also destroys everything as well, but hey, the fire is out. Not sure you can even buy these anymore, I haven't seen them for a while. And rechargeble is the way to go.

 

Does that interfear with the seats travel at all or the doors (when you have them on)?

I was considering mouting a Mag Lite there as I've seen before.

 

For what it is worth I have the mag lite there and it does not interfear at all with the seat.

 

These are the rules for every club or group outing I have been to affiliated with the United 4wd Association.

 

That's my set-up as well. I have two mounted like that; 1 on each front seat. Neither causes issues with seat adjustment.
