I wasn’t sure if i would be able to mount it inside but I wanted to try and mount it somewhere on the roll bar. I got a strap from Amazon and it fits perfect! I’m really happy with the location of it! Where have others mounted yours?

Thanks!
I don't plan any off-roading or going through areas prone to fires, etc. but since I haul my classic/show cars and such, can't hurt!
Might even buy another to have with the cars at shows as some require one to be next to the left rear wheel at shows. And the small ones most of the guys use strike me as a joke - I can exhale as long as some of them and I pneumonia scarred lungs.
I ordered my Gladiator with the idea of TOWING and it just being a truck for home projects, or something fun to drive and give my WJ a rest.
Who knows, though.

Like that location and how it's rigged up there.
Thanks mate. I will be towing a classic car occasionally as well. That car has its own
built in fire suppression system. As you said though it won’t hurt to have another extinguisher handy for the fella next to you.
Cheers

I’m going to order these.

https://elementfire.com/

They’re not cheap but are smaller and perform better than conventional extinguishers.
I’m going to reach out to them and see if they are offering any discounts...I’ll let everyone know if they do.

@smlobx

I tell you what, that is cheaper than the Halotron I just bought! I remember seeing that a while ago. Couldn’t remember the name. I wonder if the sports car sanctioning bodies will allow that in the future.
Thanks for investigating.

Actually I think that is pretty cheap compared to some others. I might buy two if they offer any deals or discounts.

Well they responded quickly but unfortunately they are not offering any discounts..

——-

Thank you very much for taking the time to contact us. We are not offering any current discounts and there are no immediate plans to do so. Right now we are focused on the roll-out of the extinguisher with several sub-distributors and retailers in the US. We are committed to supporting their efforts and any ‘manufacturer direct’ discounting would unfairly undermine the work that they are doing to stock, promote, and sell the extinguisher. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
