Fire extinguisher?
#26
After my battery blew up and turned the fiberglass hood into confetti, it was pretty easy to open the hood....=\
I'm a FF and I don't even carry one. They're not worth carrying unless you've got a 10#'er(at least). No matter how big the fire extinguisher is, if you can't readily put it out w/o one, you're vehicle is probably fukt anyhow....

What about buying a bigger one and mounting it to the inside of the bed on the drivers side? Should be able to jump out and grab it. It has enough volume to take most jobs and is easy excessible. If a fire starts inside the cab you should see it before it gets too big anyways so fast access is not a huge problem. Good brakes are lol. If you get a engine fire then your not going to open the hood anyways and it should be somewhat smothered so you would just need to jump out and grab it and spray under your fenders. Not sure what else could really catch fire on the back lol

I carry 2 in my bronco, a 3.5# up front and a 8# in the cargo area. Some of the places I wheel require that you carry one. In case your vehicle, or someone else's, catches fire, they don't want the entire property going up in smoke.
What's the possibility/likely hood of an extinguisher freezing? I know they're under a lot of pressure so I don't even know if it's possible under non-arctic conditions.
