Can you please link to the mount and maybe add a few details. Thanks in advance.

It's the flashlight holder that mounts above the rear seats in a 4 door. It will only fit the Element 100 but it was a nice way to keep 1 of the 2 extinguishers in the rear of the vehicle. Our other unit is mounted over the driver's door in their front flashlight mount. I'll get a picture when I get the Jeep out of the garage next.

I love it, sadly I just looked and our extinguishers are all 50's pro not 100 industrial. Cant take a chance of them not fitting.

Mounted on rear roll bar with the “OneTigris X-Sheath Tool Pouch.” Two Velcro straps and no movement.

If you mount sheath upside down, it can make fetching extinguisher much easier in the case of emergency.

I tucked mine right into the seat cover. I have to check if I can get it out while the door is closed. Folks beware, many accidents you won’t be able to open your doors or tailgate so don’t rely on your doors opening.
Another school of thought is if my Jeep is hit so bad that I can’t get the doors open I’m not sure I care if it burns.

Sure.

Hey Vap, did this just use in place nutplates or did this require drilling/nut certing?

 

[DadJokes]

Mine might be “break glass in case of emergency” I guess.

I've just screwed self-tapping screws directly into plastic. It's quite thick and that area have no wires at the bottom.
If it ever breaks, I'll just use nutserts, well nuts, or plastic rivets there. But many months later it still holds great, even with occasional demos.

So how did you put it out. The video ends before the fire is out. Element is supposed to be safer for the engine and other parts but it melted the headlight so that doesn't sound too safe. Since you are in the "Biz" and see way more car fires than I ever will your opinion has some weight with me. Appreciate any input and recommendations. Thanks

Disclosure - I have 2 elements in my Jeep. Hmmm...

I have 3 two 100s mounted on the Back bone supports behind rear passenger seats and a next to the fridge in the back

Can't believe I have never heard of these. I'll be adding this for sure. For those with the 100...is it "because I can"? The equivalent to five 5lb tanks that the 50 provides seems pretty great compared to what most already have.

I keep mine in front of the shifters:

"A fire extinguisher you can't reach in a fire, isn't a fire extinguisher."

Better to have and not need than the other way. More than a few have found out just a fire extinguisher don't cut it. I've just got 2 of the E50s besides standard ABC and clean fire extinguisher. The ABC is first grab for someone else vehicle or brush fire.

Black Friday deal or something can't recall. Oh and what he said above. I need to get an old school ABC as well that's a great idea!

I moved mine to the passenger door mesh holder. These Jeep’s are so narrow I can just lean across and grab it.
