I'm always worried about things turning into projectiles in an accident. I had a nasty roll over a few years back...

So I added a overhead Molle platform from MPS (https://www.molle-platform-solution...-wrangler-front-overhead-molle-panel-hard-top) which screws in to the roll bars from the top. To this I mounted a MOLLE sun glass holder for secure and easy access to my sunglasses and a 26" Tactical ASP Molle baton holder. The Element 50 fits perfectly into the baton holder and is securely mounted to the platform while still be easy for the driver to access.

I had the old Smittybilt GEAR overhead storage console in my Old JK that I liked, but this looks a lot better and is probably made better. I'm thinking it would make a good platform for a full size CB or HAM radio or even to carry a riffle. Now I have yet another thing to think about ordering. ugh.

Mounted on my Raider Rack with a quick fist clamp. Super easy to grab in case my manual transmission bursts into flames.

We used the Maximus-3 flashlight holder for the rear of the Jeep. The Element 100 fits perfect. We are mounting a 2nd one on the drivers side using the Quadratec seat mount flashlight holder.

That's a great hack Dustin. Thanks. I think I'm going to get one!

One minor "fly in the ointment," and that's just me:

working from left to right (or right to left) the order of things in the fire extinguisher world needs to be 1) human, 2) extinguisher, 3) fire.

My element is under my driver's seat. If I get another element I will though definitely copy your super hack.

I've got mine mounted to the center section of the soundbar using the Rugged Ridge 1.5" Flashlight holder clips (#11238.06) so it's within easy reach of both front and rear seat passengers.

The Rugged Ridge clips were a little big for the Element 50 as they're meant to hold a 1.5" diameter D Cell Maglite, but a whack with a rubber mallet made them the perfect size.
