It's cheap, and I don't find it any harder or slower to remove than if I had velcro straps.

Default Quick access
I followed a write up posted here in this forum. It was simple. I bought the fire extinguisher from Home Depot and mounted the bracket directly to the seat frame. It is not in the way and has held up great for the last 4-5 months.

P.S. None of them will affect the air bags. The air bags in newer vehicles don't use sensors in the bumper. The new sensors are based off changes in inertia or something like that.

idiots will steal anything at anytime if they really want it,don't think any other fire extinguisher mount will prevent theft really because of the quick access you need to the extinguisher.

Not so worried about the fire extinguisher being stolen as I am about some idiot thinking it would be funny to spray my extinguisher all over my Jeep.
