Especially if it comes loose in a crash. ;-)Behind the rear seats or under them (assuming you don't have carseats in there. I'd be hesitant to mount it to any bars simply because knocking your head on it would hurt.
Smart man. The photos posted here are kind of terrifying. At least the bottles in race cars used to be mounted in the foot well so in a frontal collision, there was a good chance the most forceful impact would be absorbed by the firewall. Based on some of the mounting locations pictured here it's not hard to imagine the bottle splitting someone's head open in a crash.I want to mount a larger fire extinguisher in the bed of my truck
I think most of these are fine. I spent 16 years building and running late model stockcars. I've seen cars roll over and cars stop suddenly, never have I seen a fire bottle get dislodged. My b-i-l's dad went on his roof and slid down the front straightaway on fire. My b-i-l tried knocking the fence down and ended up with a broken fuel pump siphoning the 20 gallons out of the tank which ended up igniting. I've also had a crew guy get in the car to clean it and bump the fire button that the driver forgot to pin.Smart man. The photos posted here are kind of terrifying.

TBH I don't care for it being in its current location, but it beats being buried under everything in the back of the cab so that I can't get to it. I don't run a bed cover so I haven't decided where is good to put it (in the be) that is 'out of sight and out of mind' so it doesn't get stolen or tampered with. That is my ideal (eventual) location since it's an even more convenient grab.Especially if it comes loose in a crash. ;-)

But I know. They look cool.

If someone's in a crash strong enough to dislodge a fire extinguisher with most of these mounts, I don't think it's going to make a difference.
I would trust the aluminum mount & hose clamps over the velcro mounts. Those are a big nope from me.
Yeah. I have to come up with an interior tie-down method for our fridge in the off chance we get f'd up.I didn't use the cheap hose clamps with mine I bought good quality ones. I've had the "pleasure" of being in vehicles rolling over and though vehicle roll over trainer's. After any of those things you normally strap down every thing. Being in a few M113s and 36 ton APC that flips or gets nosed at speed sucks let alone a aircraft. I've had a few of them

It looks like those mounts are a combination of black plastic and hose clamps.I think most of these are fine. I spent 16 years building and running late model stockcars.
