Fire extinguisher location suggestions

I just used some heavy zip ties on the extinguisher mount, fixing it to the sport cage upright on the drivers side aft of the door. It is at headrest height. I can reach it in a hurry from the drivers door.

Assuming it is your Jeep on fire:
1) Stop the Jeep if it's rolling.
2) Get out of the Jeep.
3) Video for later posting on YouTube.
If the fire is under the hood I'm not sure I would want to go back into the driver's seat for the extinguisher.
I would probably prefer tailgate mount like listing #5 here. This would allow for a larger, more effective extinguisher.

BTW - Anyone look into Fire Gone. It's an aerosol foam extinguisher. You can get them at Wally World for under $25 for a 2 pack. Non-corrosive and washes off clean.

I'm sure he is referring to the mount itself being zip tied, and the mount would have a quick release on it.
I have a 2.5 lb Halguard mounted to the back roll bar using hose clamps on the mount (mount has the quick release).
I also have a 1 lb Halguard mounted on the side of my driver seat rail like the red one in the earlier post. I didn't like the Drake mount that was in front of the seat, I figured it would get in the way.

i like the in front of seat one but i bet id kick it when i pull my foot back from
the clutch I have a habit of kicking my foot back there to avoid keeping my foot on that pedal ,does anyone have a clue if they are temperature sensitive to extream cold conditions as we have here in northern NewEngland ? We see temps well below zero all winter and its something im not interested in trying to keep warm transporting in and out of the house daily ! though when you need it you need it .

I'm sitting in my Jeep right now and if it was on the side of the seat there is no way I could get to it with the door closed.
If you came out with a bracket that attached from the front of the driver or better yet the passenger seat that would be great!
Also, if you have the drivers seat all the way down, does that effect your bracket?
