| Most of us have read the threads that have been posted recently regarding extra fuel, fires, etc. Most us us are also very aware of the price of a fire extinguisher mounting bracket. I have seen them priced at about $200 and the ones that are a deal are still $159.00. I think that's a little high considering they don't even come with the fire extinguisher. In the box on my SxS, I carry 2 of the First Alert Tundra extinguishers. They are not the best as far as dependability but providing they operate when you press the button they should do the trick. The biggest problem is they are in my box! Some times in the top, sometimes the bottom, never quite sure where I will find them. In a emergency situation, that's not a good thing. I needed a mount of some kind. My first idea was to slide them in a tube beside my seats that they could ride in. The problem was the tubing I had was too small. So, I cut the tubing and slid the extinguisher in it. The tubes holds it good and tight and the extinguisher can be removed quickly. I am going to add a small rubber bumper inside the tube to prevent the extinguisher from sliding. Not sure where I am going to mount them. I am going to buy another piece of tubing to I can customize the length to where I want it. The tubing is just a 24" piece of shop vac extension pipe available at Lowe's for about $7. Here are some pics!

| If mine catches on fire I'm going to let it burn up I wouldn't want it after it caught on fire probably wouldn't be anything but problems after that anyway. | |
