too me that is very tasteful on the chrome

now for the question

where would i mount it at thats at is good place to reach it at???

and will not be in the away of anything!!!

 

Under the glove compartment, that's where most people mount it.

Then again, chances are that you will never use it. A friend of mine bought one for his car a few years ago saying that it's insurance for his rx7. He never used it once, now it's just collecting dust.

The expiration tag still reads nov 2001

To each his own I guess.

 

i'll have to check that out later maybe tomorrow...

 

I've had fire extinguishers in most of my vehicles (none in my xB, yet) and never used them on my own rig. I HAVE, however, used five of 'em on other people's car fires.

As to location, just remember NOT to put them where you expect the fire to be - if you mount them where there's likely to be fire, how will you get to it if there is?

(Thanks for reminding me - now I need to go out and get one for my xB!)

EDIT: Whooo! I just saw the price on those good looking Moon units - Ouch!

 

What ever you do DO NOT put it on the A-Pillar ... It doesn't get much worse than that

 

mine's rolling around the foot well in the xB The small one from lowes fits in the rear cuop holder type thingy well, (I think the xA's have this too). But, I put an armrest in there Now, I can't figure out where to put mine either. I'm thinking in the rear somewhere.

 

i think...

just too keep in mind i think it should be like in arms leanth away from you for easy access you know what i mean

 

do not put it in the front seat area anywhere. a. that's where the fire will most likely be first, b. it becomes a projectile if you are in a wreck and c. most times you will need it will be for someone elses car.

as a firefighter, i say keep one in the space near the rear tire well if you have easy access to your wheel. if you have a system, mount one with brackets to the top, side, or in between two subs on the box itself. another popular place is along the base of the cargo area next to the wheel well.

 

^^^ now thats a good idea put it in the back but sence its chrome 'n' all its godda be shown to the rest of the world

under the toun-o cover but it should be mounted on top i think unless that would be a hazard os some sort???

 

I'd put it in the rear compartment where the jack is...

 

Got to have the fire extinguisher.

It's an essential ricer mod. Make sure it is where people can see it.

You'll need some more NOS and GReddy stickers after that to balance it out.

 

F!@# the stickers i aint a sticker man i know my limits on stickers i aint advertisin what i have under the hood or suspension mods i have no freakin way!!!

 

I had one on an old mustang and in fact did have to use it once. Used to freak people out telling them that the car they were riding in had a fire. In fact it had two fires, one was electrical and went out on its own when I removed the voltage.

That car was never boring.

Anyhow, under the driver's seat or passenger's seat is good enough. Its not likely to become a projectile, but its still reasonably accessible and the install is no trouble. If you really want to install it I'd say put it in the passenger side footwell by the transmission housing.

 

yeah but ppl likes to slid the passenger seat back and forward

 

Yep, that is definitely 3Fast 3Furious there.

A fire extinguisher is completely unnecessary unless you're expecting your engine to catch fire for some reason. It just looks really fukin ricey man, sorry. A-pillar or not, if you're bolting up a fire extinguisher in your car and you aren't in NASCAR, then you are a riceboy. You may as well paint chinese characters on your car and get a Wings West bodykit and paint it primer gray.

 

What's next? a hood ejector button? just kidding...

 

then you need a buttion to drop the fuel and engine or eject the engine and watch it too see how high it'll go

ok this post is getting off topic now if you wish you can lock it now

 

I'm guessing some people here are young and or just haven't been on the road much. I can't even count the number of cars I've seen burned. I carry one with me at all times. Not even really for my car, cause I have full coverage and I'll let it burn rather than have some crappy half burnt repaired car. I carry it for the OTHER people I see burnin on the road. It's part of my "I drive 100 miles a day in the middle of nowhere" package.

 

Sorry, kid, I've had fire extinguishers in my vehicles since my '55 Chevy 210 in the early '60's, and as I've said above I've used five of 'em on other's cars over the years. Having a fire extinguisher aboard 'just in case' is no more ricey than having a spare tire, a screwdriver, a flashlight, or a jack.

(I also have three fire extinguishers here in the apartment: One in the kitchen, one between the bedrooms, and a Halon in the computer room/office.)

Now if the fire extinguisher is there just for looks, yeah, that's sad, but having one handy, and knowing how to use it, is just being prepared.

 

well done Tomas. yea i havent gotten one for mine yet but eventually i would like to . this is my question though... in extreme heat or cold is there a chance it could explode (this is ironic since im askin of a FIRE extinguisher) but i never really thought about it until now. we get all the extremes in nebraska and dont want it exploding inside of my car. but yea.... i would like to eventually throw one in there if not for mine, but the poor eclipse owner on the side of the road whose nitrous exploded their green car <(this is a joke) any help would be great
