Fire extinguisher mount

I installed an Element fire stick on the molle panel in back of mine. I’ll do a full post of all my upgrades soon. Just waiting on a few more things. Here’s a pic of the extinguisher though.
What kind of window Molle panels Shown in photos. Looks like low profile ones compare to others I saw
Would you give me the link of where you bought from? Thanks
 
What was the issue?
The Bracketeer can be installed in 2 ways: either by clamping (for most vehicles) or bolt to seat mounts (for JDM). It obviously couldn't clamp to the rails, the Land Cruiser being JDM, and when attempting to bolt it to the seat mounts, the Bracketeer interfered with the rails as well and the bolts could not be reinstalled.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
 
I think those were the ones on "Fab Rats" YT channel, they didn't work very well.
I was about to shell out some money for one of these as well and decided to do a search on "reviews". I found this YouTube video where they tested several types and sizes. Basically, the Element was useless for the simulated engine fire scenario. I currently have a 2.5 pound ABC unit and was anything but assured that it would do the trick after watching the video. In fact, even the 5 pound ABC unit was not 100% effective.

 
Darn. So I guess we should forget about those handy single use extinguishers? :unsure:

They look so good on a mole mount next to a flashlight and multitool.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Compact and easy to store in an easily accessible location. I guess some things are too good to be true. They might still be useful for things other than engine fires like campfires that have gotten out of hand or a quick way to extinguish some burning grass on the side of the road before it turns into a brush/forest fire.

However, as I said, my 2.5 pounder that I've been carrying looks about as useless. Maybe it's time to step and get at least a 5 pounder if not a 10 pounder as much as I hate the thought of carrying one of those huge/heavy things around. Typically, I'd only take it on trips where I'm going to be remote and while it may not stop the fire before it ruins the engine, it may stop it before it burns down the whole truck and all my comms, food, shelter, first aid, etc.
 
Yea, those are expensive and I have two, but my whole selling point was they allegedly never expire, and they can get wet… I’m hoping that was just too large of a fire in the video. I also feel like once a rig is THAT on fire it’s kind of a fruitless effort anyway, you might be saving some items in the rig but the rig would be a total loss. Just trying to convince myself those little flare things are worth it still lol. I’ll hold onto the idea that any fire will be caught quick enough that those will still work.

2.5 lbs looks like it gives me tons of time to get people and stuff out of the car though. if my car's on fire it's a lost cause anyway, my priority is getting people out and safe
 
I can confirm this mount works well. You’ll need a separate bracket for your fire extinguisher. Can use with or without the seat jackets that raise the front of the seat.
