I am trying to think of a good place to mount a 2.5# fire extinguisher in the truck. I really want in in the cab where it will not be affected by stuff kicking around the bed. The only place I can see where it is easily mounted and somewhat out of the way is to mount it horizontally to the front of the rear seat folding box.

Does anyone else have a better idea? Pictures?

Thanks.

This post from yesterday is a good idea: https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/seat-front-molle-panel.5394/
 
I keep a big one under the back seat in the tool compartment area. Probably not a "best practice", but it's good-sized and didn't have to mount it..
 
Have you ever tried using one of them ?
Yes, I have them in my truck, camper and in my racing tool box. The kicker is to know that you have use it to smoother the fire. its not a spray and pray, its create a cloud over the flames and let it smother. It works great for engine bays etc. The other nice part i like is that i can light it and then throw it in a compartment ( car, rv, garage etc) and shut the door. You cannot do that with a normal style. There are benefits, and its not a one size fits all. but the compact size and ease of use really made it an easy choice for me
 
I have a 4lb ABC mounted in the bed to a BuiltRight rack. In my area I’m just as likely to run across a brush fire or something else so I wanted more than just a B.

$60 ~ Will fit almost any configuration:


It goes well with an H3R Halguard. Like I'm gunna scrimp on
a fire extinguisher for a $90K ride? (FAA approved!)
H3R also has nice powder coated adjustable seat mounts.

I have these mounted in my track car and have one for quick access in the truck.
 
The first thing I bought when I picked up my truck was a marine fire extinguisher. Keep it in the storage compartment under the rear seats.

I will have to look into these sticks though. Seems much better.

In my track car they are mounted under my seat and behind me on the role bar .. in the truck, I have it in the center counsel space by my right leg so I can grab it.
