Springtail Solutions side rack. Really big pair of quick fists. Never moves. Never shifts. Never rattles. No matter where I'm driving. Could pull it off the rack in seconds.

Lightning fast quick release, I just hope I never have to use them. I purchased a pair. Great product

Where did you mount them?


It is mounted on the driver side rear door, still have to do the other side as well. I think it is the perfect location for the this unit and it is not taking too much space.
Also longtime ago when I went to Fire Suppression Class, was told by the fire marshal best way to mount any fire extinguisher is to be mounted it in“horizontal position” cause you don’t want the powder to move around inside the tank and if mounted vertical and if the tank is seating for the long time the powder will turn into solid rock. It is best to shake the tank 3 times a week if it is mounted in vertical position.

Looks great! Although I'm not crazy about the idea of drilling holes there. I take it's 2 1/2 lbs extinguisher? What brand may I ask?
 
Lol, I hear you about the holes.
With drawers and fridge slide, there is not much room left inside the Fj. Also it is holding up pretty good with 2.5 lbs.
I picked it up at the Off Road Expo West last week for $45 each.
