I strapped mine to the roll bar area between the two front seats.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
I plan on putting one on the front of the drivers seat. I don't know how to properly explain it but I want to build bracket that I can clamp to the frame of the seat so it rests as close to the front of the driver's seat as possible. There is that dead space that feet never really go that would allow for a small fire extinguisher.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
I searched this a while back here and IIRC there were pictures posted of this mounting method. Also there was mention of using a special type of extinguisher that isn't powdery.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
That is probably halon which is banned.
Another spot might be behind the drivers seat attached to the back of the cab. Haven't inspected there for that so don't know for sure.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
Ah I found it. Halguard was the extinguisher brand name. Expensive but if you save your truck its worth it. http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=95523&highlight=fire+extinguisher

Code what?
I finally got around to doing this today, picked up a 2lb BC from NAPA for $20. 6yr warranty. I did not want to stare at it up front or put it anywhere that would interfere with seat position. I found this spot behind the driver seat that it can quickly be grabbed from after getting out. I've had syty's for 15yrs and I'm ashamed of myself I waited this long to carry a fire extinguisher. Two small screws hold the plastic mount, it's really sturdy and releases quick. This location allows the driver seat to be leaned fully back to nap and does not interfere with folding down the rear seat.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
I like that spot for the Ty. Mine sits behind the driver seat in the Sy. I use a White Kitchen fire extinguisher designed for gas, oil, and electrical fires.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
I don't like to drill holes in cars, boats or fine wood cabinets if I can possibly avoid it.
Here's where I've carried mine for 15 years in the Ty's. It doesn't move around, doesn't rattle, and I can reach it from the driver's door with the seat back folded forward. It would never pass tech at a racetrack, but that doesn't concern me. It could also become a projectile aimed at my head if I ever hit something with a lot of pace on. But I didn't drill any holes, and its out of the way. Someday I may even make a custom wrapping for it and get rid of the white towel, as it shows through the glass.

Re: Fire extinguisher mounting
Before mine starts getting driven i need to figure this out. I have a halotron extinguisher from Griots Garage that I really want to keep in the Syclone so this never happens again!
I'm still cleaning white power out of Crispy and probably will for years so thinking about that its not too bad at 2.5lb's for $159.
