To set everyones minds at ease, I am replacing my gas tank this weekend. If you don't know it has been leaking on the trail and needs to be replaced.

With that said, I am in the market for a fire extinguisher to mount in the truck. Does anyone have suggestions as to size of the extinguisher and mounting? I'm thinking 2.5lb would be good, thoughts?

I'll check what I got in my truck after work. I got it from Autozone, believe its 2.5.

Mine came from PepBoys or Walmart, not sure of the size... I have it in the back of the Jeep. I looked at mounting it on the roll bars, but unless I had the top down, getting to it would not be easy in an emergency.

I figured that if I couldn't' open the tailgate to get the fire extinguisher (which is within easy reach once the tailgate is open)....the situation was probably beyond my control at that point & hopefully someone else will douse the fire for me.

I figure my extinguisher is to put other people out. If I'm burning, please extinguish me. I'll do the same for you.

You should check out this - it's the company that made my CB antenna mount: Modular Fire Extinguisher Mount

This is how I have mine in my fj. Like others have said its in the back for other peoples use. I may get a smaller one for the front so I could be useful in that situation lol

I actually ran this over the passenger seat in my Jeep and it worked well. But to be honest I like the ones Mike posted better....wish I had known about them when I owned a Jeep

Glad to hear that Rome

I have a 2.5 and a 5 lb in the center right behind the seats.
general use is 10 sec per lb. average
so.. 8 to 30 sec. total time for a 2.5lb.
so If it's big.. douse the flames get the people out
then you just get away.

Great information guys thanks!
