SubscriberIs it secured? I'd hate to think what that would be like rolling around the cabin in a rollover. It's things like that that will kill you in an accident more so than the crash itself. Just sayin'

Like Chris mine is in the back.....
But I have it bolted down to the top of my rear shelf between the cargo barrier and the back of my Engel. ( I'd prefer it was the other side of the cargo barrier to me in a crash.)
Might seem like an odd place - but my barrier is a half barrier - so simply tilting the left rear seat forward and its right there to grab.
I'll try and grab a photo when it's light out there!

SubscriberHi Owl,If you need it, you need it in a hurry!
Be aware that cover on the front of the seat it looks like you've bolted the extinguisher to is only clipped on and in a crash might see that extinguisher flying off.

No chance of it becoming a missile and easy to access

SubscriberIt's jammed in pretty tight and can only be dislodged in a vertical sense so I think it's very safe. There would be plenty of other stuff flying around the cab if I was to roll the car but safety is always worth thinking about.

50% passWhen I fit my rear drawers I intend to store the fire extinguisher there.
No chance of it becoming a missile and easy to access. Safe from causing hazards
But........ if you are the vehicle on fire, and the power is cut, you can't open the back to get it

SupporterIf the truck was on fire and I lost 12v power I would be more concerned about getting out than putting the fire out
IF it gets that dangerous to hell with the car, That's why we have insurance.
Trucks can be replaced, People can't.

In that case - what's the point of carrying one?
Most fires are engine bay.... first thing to go - wiring.
So a small fire can quickly take out your power (often what happens). You coast quickly to the side of the road and everyone gets out to safety.
Seeing them safe you head for the FE to put out the small fire only to find the tailgate locked
May as well save the cost and hassle, and just get out and walk off
