Soeley's 2019 Black SZ5

Their had been discussion of fire extinguishers on the FB group, i had been thinking of getting one for in the Jimny, but this spurred me on. I believe it should be accessible from the drivers seat for worst case scenario purposes.

I opted for This Ally bottle extinguisher

I had seen ONE OF THESE but thought it looked too close to the feet. So adapted the idea to have the extinguisher sat on top of the crossmember.

Good idea Soeley, looks very neat and powder is the wise option. Be aware that in the event of a frontal impact it might not be as accessible as you hoped. Fires are rare (thank goodness) and more commonly triggered by impact. Between the seats or above the seatbelt mount on the B pillar tend to remain accessible should you be pinned in your seat. Your local Fire Brigade will be only too pleased to offer advice.

Great idea, think I might relocate mine to the same spot and free up some room in the rear luggage box.

Thanks CC Baxter. No room between the seats really and not sure about a place on the B pillar, whether their is room or somewhere secure enough to fasten to. Don't want a missile above my head. I will look at it though.

+1 on the missile above head. I am putting mine behind passenger seat on floor. Fastened with proper steel bracket to seat bolts.

In my case we are only 2. Back seats are out so I am not carrying passengers.

Lack of space Soeley, I fully understand the problem as Jimnys are small. Sadly just carrying an extinguisher is only half the story. Finding a readily accessible mounting can be very difficult. Your point about a missile above your head is valid but a better design of mounting cup as found on marine extinguishers overcomes that concern.
To further muddy the waters have you considered fitting a "Life Hammer" as endorsed by Fire and Police services? That's another item that calls for considered mounting. Chris
