I like the idea of this, but curious if the mount will handle that weight over the long haul, especially while off-roading. Keep us posted.

Good point. If it sits in the floor, it’ll work.I like the idea of this, but curious if the mount will handle that weight over the long haul, especially while off-roading. Keep us posted.

Fire extinguishers are NOT for fighting fires. They are for escape from a fire.
With that said, they should be located for easy access by either driver or passenger.
Most vehicle fires are under the hood, involving fuel and electricity. Even a 20 lb. bottle is not going to put it out by the time you get there.
There, that's the PSA for fire safety.

If your Jeep is melting down next to the road, it is good to be able to put out secondary fire in nearby brush so you don't become the topic of the evening news.

I know I am late to the game on this one... but I found this.

You have to pop off the plastics to mount it... but if you want the plastics back on there, all you need to do is dremel out a small groove (about 1/8") on the side of the plastics, and it will pop back on over the bracket where it mounts to the C-Pillar. You can get it for either driver or passenger side, or even one for both and only costs $40

Specifically, I’m asking about a bracket/holder for under the driver’s seat. I’m wanting to put a 2.5lb extinguisher there. DV8 has one that would work if the bracket going to the front two bolts on a JK seat worked on a JL, but the floor board is different. If I was still working out in the field, I might just make something up at work, but I’m in a different line of work.

Thanks. I should have searched first.

I think B pillar for one, and C pillar for the other, might be the ticket.

Have the extinguisher quick to get to. Not Jeep related, but we shot off a mortor firework Friday. One went sideways into the woods and started two small fires. We had mere seconds to put it out. Shit happens quick. After examining the firework, one cell had blown out the side for some reason.
