Good fire extinguishers that fit under backseat?

Looking for a good automotive fire extinguisher that would fit under the backseat? Just something I can put in the under seat compartment and not worry about it unless it is needed.

Anyone here carry fire extinguishers under their backseat?

 

I saw the Element Fire extinguisher the other day on Jay Lenos Garage. It lasts much longer than pressurized units, weighs much less. and has a much longer shelf life. It's more expensive, go figure.

Just a thought but placing the fire extinguisher there under the back seat may take longer to access in the event of a emergency

My ideal location would be just in front of the drivers seat mounted onto the floor

 

There's a mount that puts one on the passenger seat front release bar ( https://www.refinedcycle.com/FM2-Fr...isher-Mount-FJ-Cruiser-4Runner-Tacoma-FM2.htm ). I didn't buy this at the time I was doing it, just used a big honking velcro strap to do the same thing, but it's reasonably out of the way and very accessible in case of an emergency.

 

In the bed of the truck. Kidd 2(?) Pounds

 

There is a product called the Bracketeer, shown in the picture. Allows you to mount a 2 or 2.5 pound extinguisher forward of, or behind, the front seat rails. I bought a Halotron extinguisher because it doesn't make a mess of the engine bay.

The seat is pushed back to its rearmost position to show the mounting details. In practice the extinguisher does not interfere with the passenger's foot space.

You want the extinguisher to be accessible in seconds, you don't want to be flipping up seats and opening compartments.

 

Ordered one, have one in the boat never go bad, if you order before end of this month use the discount code HelpCA2018 at check out and Save 15% I been meaning to get another one for a bit now the 15% puts it at $67.95 so no more procrastination. *Note shipping is $9* still worth it.

 

Any problem with putting the fire extinguisher upright behind the rear seat (driver side). There is an area there that looks like one would fit nicely. Up against the back cab wall under the corner of the rear window. I normally keep my rear seats folded down, so access would be as easy as opening the rear door (driver side).

 

What kinda bracket are you using?

Have you tried any of their mounts with your Tacoma? I may try their magnetic mount, but not sure where I'd install it.

 

Looking at all the 2.5lb ones at that Kidde site. What's the different between them all? I was looking at the $25 white one and the $32 red one..looks like the red one has a farther range..is that all?

 

I have this little guy behind my seat in my reg cab. Is it good? Idk I havent had to use it. I guess its better than nothing right? Got it at walmart for cheap. came with the shitty little mount.

 

I have this. Mine is an access cab and it fit really nice under the seat, if you have a 4 door I definitely think it will fit. It also comes with the mount that is just 2 screws and is pretty firm

 

What strap did you use for this and how is it mounted?

 

Not sure what difference the color makes. The main thing I was told to take note of is the class. Whether its safe for electrical fires or chemical fires (or both) or if its only safe for wood/paper fires.
