Default Good spot for a set of fure extinguishers??

Where's a good spot for a set of fire extinguishers? These come with a holding bracket, I was thinking on the back tubes but don't know if It will interfere with the soft top when taking off or putting on.. Any suggestions?? They measure 15"

I've had on on the back of the roll cage for years. It doesn't interfere with the top as long as you make sure it's in the right position and hasn't slid around when you raise or lower the top.

Those look like they have pretty wide handles. That might be a problem. The extinguishers I have came with much more compact handles/triggers.

I run a 2.5lbs one on the back of the roll cage and a smaller 1.5lbs one attached to the driver seat for quick and easy access.

I have mine on the rear roll bar as well, uses cable ties for the bracket, works great.

I have one just like those, and I mounted it on the rear roll bar (driver's side). I actually haven't had my soft top on with it installed, though I do have the bracket attached to the roll bar for the soft top. I mounted the extinguisher below the bracket. I may have to move it around some once I put the soft top on.... I hadn't even thought about that.

I'll probably mount them on the rear roll bars and just remove them when putting the top on or off

So I mounted them, they look pretty good (except for the wire I used to secure them) now I just hope they can stand the AZ heat and I hope no jerk offs mess with them haha
