fire extingusher install location

looking for options on installing a small fire extinguisher.

not sure if the summer heat would cause the bottle to rupture if I keep it in the CAB...

another option might be under drivers side step near the mud flap. pro is no heat issue and out of the way....con is one could argue functionality question as its exposed to the environment and possibility of it getting stolen and being sold for crack money.

my bed has a bed cap, so that's not an option.

interested in options?

Keep mine in the center console, mostly because I haven't bothered looking for a place to mount it. It rode in my F150's console for 5 years without issue. Inside the cab storage is presumably not an issue as I have done that for over 20 years.

Or under the back seat? Mine sits in the end of the box behind the tailgate. I have a soft cover only.

Inside the cab is better than outside. Whatever you decide make sure you can get to it in a hurry.

I have one that fits in the driver door storage area. I bit tight, but won't be a problem if I need quick access.

I've used a company call "The Bracketeer". They make semi-universal / adjustable brackets that attach to the front or rear of the seat rails.

Thats what I was going to suggest, fabricating a bracket to the passenger seat rail attachment points.
If someone sells one pre-made, thats even better.

By bed cap do you mean a cap or a camper?

Builtright has a bracket you could mount it to but, they arent cheap.

Anyone ever mount a quick release to a magnum rack? I suppose there’s a theft risk but I’ve always liked a fire extinguisher to be obviously located to anyone working with me...
