Added a jduck unit to my pile o parts about a year ago…forgot to put up a pic til this thread got bumped here ya go.. i need to add another extinguisher for easier access should I not be able to get to this one. I put the pin on a cable tether cause I'm bad to loose **** lol

 
If you cant reach it with your shoulder straps still on its worthless. Once the shoulders are off, you'll be able to get out and wont worry about putting the fire out until you are on flatground outside the vehicle. At that point the extinguisher isnt worth reaching in to get.

That's why I mounted mine at the rear of my truck. My first concern would be getting my ass the fawk out of my truck if it was on fire. I see no reason for an extinguisher to be in the cab, but different people see things differently. If I see a flame, regardless of where it is, I'm unharnessing and getting the fawk out and damn sure wouldn't want to reach back in to get it after the flames are going. Just gtfo, run (or hobble) to rear of truck where it's a little more likely to be safe, then start spraying ****. I have been thinking about mounting a 2nd one on it, and if I do, I will likely mount it right beside the one already in the rear. I just can't see any other place having more of an advantage.

I've always assumed extinguishers mounted at the rear/sides of vehicles were for bystanders to grab to assist in getting someone out. Ideally one would be within reach from the inside and 1 or 2 from the outside.

X2

I had one between the seats, and one on each pillar behind the "cab" area on my old race truck
 
2.5lbs can be reached from seat or outside but not while strapped in

5lb in back

Think I will go a head and order a 13.5oz. all weather cold fire for in the front to be accessible while strapped in

hadn't thought about it that way, appreciate the thought.… i need to put a second one on anyway
 
I had mine next to my case shifters where I can reach it strapped in for that very reason. I was strapped in when mine flamed up higher than my cage and reached in the flames to get it so I could get the fire off mine and Grandpa's legs.
It's def no good if you can't reach it
 
I have a question. For the rigs that have onboard fire extinguisher systems that use dry chemical. Will the system work properly if the rig is on it's roof, side, nose etc?
I know the standard extinguishers use a pickup tube to supply the chemical agent to the nozzle. How does this effect the use of the f/e if it is not valve up?
I ask because I have room for a 10lb f/e just forward of my shifter in my buggy, in reach of the driver or pass. I had planned on plumbing valve to a couple nozzles aimed at the engine/exhaust.
Not sure if it is worth the effort. I already have the f/e.

Will a cold fire type of f/e work upside down as well?
 
Just read the cold fire thread in the vender's section and it answered a few of my questions.
Now how would we make a reservoir using cold fire, plumbing and nozzles that would work no matter the vehicle orientation.
Swinging pickup? roll over/check valves? :dunno:

I'm picturing 3+ gallons and 4 nozzles at the engine. ???
 
Thanks John. That's a lot of equipment for the $$.
The cable actuator in nice for being able to remote mount.
Still wonder about the flexible pickup. If the bottle was mounted horizontaly and the valve end on the drivers side, I can see a flexible pickup working for three sides.
What if the rig was on it's drivers side? I would think the bottle just release the air charge once the pickup was uncovered.

Use one system but add a second bottle, valve to passenger side?
 
if you have a fire extinguisher with a plastic top on it, throw it in the garbage and go get one that's all metal.....those do not hold up to the vibration and will let you down when you need it!

Putting my rig together and thought this might be a good thread to bump to the top since its getting to be that time of year.
 


I picked up these ABC dry Chem ext from a local fire supply for $35 a piece. Well worth my rig not being burned down, or worse my occupants being burned. I have them mounted behind both sides of the B pillar, and have thought about adding one to the cabin and one to the stern. Seems overkill till you're on fire.

Ordered 4 of these this weekend from jduck to go on mine and my wife's buggg. Can never have too many extinguishers
 
I built some of these a while back but never mounted them since I already had the 2.5s mounted. Just got a new extinguisher so I finally got one of the mounts installed.
