I haven’t been off road in the truck yet, but I know what it’s like to need a fire extinguisher and not have one.
My beater of a first car caught fire on the way to school, the engine, power steering and power brakes went out, and we pulled off the highway. Highway patrol saw our car smoking so they pulled over and unloaded their fire extinguisher. Still going... Local police were nearby so they stopped and unloaded theirs. Still going... clearly this was an electrical fire and the battery was still hooked up, but the whole front end was on fire so none of us were going to get close enough to pull the battery cables. Finally the fire department arrived and took care it.
Needless to say, I’m adding a fire extinguisher to my Christmas wishlist. That Element is looking pretty cool.
