I bought a 4 pounder and mounted it yesterday. I have a 5lb in the garage that needs to be serviced since it is several years old. Brycers problems convinced me to stop messing around and do it.

Brycer, sorry to hear about the Jeep, glad to hear you are ok.
We have procrastinated on the subject of extinguishers in our older cars for years. After reading one of the first of these threads, we put one in EVERY vehicle.
And to some of those who say why bother with an extinguisher, I say it's good inexpensive protection. At the very least it can give you a little more time to get everybody out safely. And you never know when you'll be in a situation where you could help someone else who doesn't have one.
Another good (simple) thing to have is a "life hammer". We have one in every vehicle. Make sure it's easily accessible. If children and car seats are involved, the seat belts can be cut quickly if need be.

Insurance is covering most of it and I found out I had gap insurance I didn't know I signed for so that is a perk.
After- "the fire was so hot it melted the Radiator.now its a nice paper weight in my garage."

HOLY SH** thats unbelieveable after seeing those pics how bad it burned up. Glad your insurance is coving and you have the gap. Any idea if that would cover mods? They come up with any idea's on what started it?
