Bow Ties Are Cool
TL : DR
I want to mount a fire extinguisher (preferably a relatively good size one) in my tahoe, where / how have you guys mounted yours?
In the last two years I've been a part of multiple situations that would've been MUCH worse had someone not had a fire extinguisher on hand. The first story was some random lady that had car trouble, pulled over on the side of the freeway too far off the shoulder and caught the tall dry grass on fire, while a couple of us were emptying water bottles and kick dirt on it, finally and semi pulled over and broke out his extinguisher. The other time hit a little closer to home. Following my dad to go camping, he was driving 3/4 ton ram towing full size travel trailer, I finally called him after 10 minutes of smelling burning rubber but not seeing smoke (I thought maybe it was one of the cars in front of him), as we walked around the truck and trailer on the shoulder, I notice a small wisp of smoke come from under the back of the truck, somehow the exhaust had caught the spare tire on fire. Crazy because he's towed trailers with this truck for years with zero problems, and it was only like 70 that day (not exactly record setting heat). Nonetheless, had we not had a fire extinguisher in the trailer, that trip would've had a very different ending... After this we drove straight to a store and each bought fire extinguishers for our vehicles. Mine lived on the floor board of the back seat of my station wagon for years. Now having the tahoe, I want to mount this sucker somewhere a little better looking / permanent. Where have you guys mounted them in your trucks? Pics?
Thanks and keep it safe this fine holiday weekend!
