Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?
Jeep and Land Cruiser guys mount them to the roll bar. It's probably as much for looks as anything, but there's no denying that it could come in handy.
Have you mounted one? If so, where? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?
I believe in a few states its a law to have one in trucks. It's an overlooked law plus by " trucks" not to sure what the details

Plus, more and more Cars shows are stipulating that a extinguisher be onboard. If you don't have one, get one. Mount it where ever you want, just get one.

Re: Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?
Over the years I have found the floor right in front of the driver's seat has worked really well and is easy to access from inside and outside the vehicle. While a lot of people use the far right kick panel my passengers were constantly kicking it. Plus it is a little hard to reach without running around the truck and finding the door locked just takes even more time that you may not have.

I have on in my 71, so I guess I was legal. Mr. B, every one I've ever seen, including mine, has been mounted vertically on the passenger kick panel, just aft (oops - EDIT: just FORWARD) of the door opening. Kinda directly in line below where the passenger a/c outlet woudl be. Last edited by jocko; 02-03-2013 at 09:26 PM. |

Re: Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?

Re: Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?
Not yet but today was the first trip to town...........................Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I say the same thing about my gun.

Jump online and order one from whoever you can get them from. I ALWAYS tell everyone that keeping one on board will be one of the best protective things you can do for your truck and yourself.

Re: Do you run a fire extinguisher in your truck?
I run one! Most importantly, its not mounted anywhere. It sits in the floor board so if something happens I can pick it up and get to business. Not fight with it, and then put out the issue.
