[QUOTE="al1tonyota, post: 262108, member: 927"] I just wanted to take a minute and point out something that is getting overlooked on a lot of trail rigs and especially rock bouncers! With the increased challenges and demands on our buggies I believe fire safety isn't going up with the horsepower numbers. Rigs of all levels from a stock 4x4 all the way up to full built tube chassis are in a lot of situations that fires can happen quickly from extreme angles to rocks catching a fuel lines. There are plenty of options out there from a $20 extinguisher with a plastic mount to a full halon fire suppression system. I have seen a lot of small fires that were put out with a handy beverage or dirt but in reality if everyone had at least a small extinguisher the risk of a large fire would go down a lot! I have two extinguishers mounted on quick realease mounts from Offroad Solutions one inside within reach of the passenger or driver and one on the rear axle so that a bystander can put me or my buggy out in the event of a fire!
