Fire Extinguisher etc for JLU

[Sluggo]

Today I mounted my extinguisher using the threaded holes for the hard top. It just fits. I used wood as the mount as I do not have access to metal working. Only works with the soft top. I had to move it rearward to clear the soft top mechanism. I’m not saying this is a good solution, I may or may not keep it installed.

I’d encourage you to reconsider your mounting location. If you need it in a hurry, the very back of the Jeep usually isn’t ideal

I keep two, and both are reachable from the driver’s seat.

Hi. Can you share pictures of where you keep them? Thank you.

Sure. I assume the JL rollcage is sufficiently different that my setup would require some tweaking (the bars aren't round any more, are they?), but I keep one above and one to the side.

Here's the halon that I keep for use if my Jeep catches on fire. It has a quick release from Drake (https://www.amazon.com/Drake-Off-Road-FIREX-MNT-DOR-Extinguisher/dp/B006VFR2LS), although I use hose clamps instead of the attachments that came with it.

Up close:

For the cheaper one to my left, I just use the mount that came with it, again with hose clamps to keep it in place.

Closer:

I used some sort of putty, don't remember what, to try to keep the release pin from rattling. There are undoubtedly more car-friendly release mechanisms available.


I've also seen quality mounts for directly in front of the front seat, behind your legs. Seems like a reasonable option, but whatever you do, make sure it's secure. Not the kind of object you want flying around in an accident.

This is probably a really good option for Jeeps....compact, heat stable and does not expire

Whoa, definitely going to have to check that out. Thanks.

Good discussion here. Think I’m going to grab one.

This is actually really neat! Thanks for sharing.

That Element extinguisher looks pretty cool. I think that might be the one to mount in my Jeep. Almost wish it could be Jeep Club endorsed or something.

Element looks interesting/great... NEVER use an ABC extinguisher on a vehicle you care about.
