Do you carry a fire extinguisher in your rig?
 
Well, do ya?

If i didn't i would have watched my jeep burn to the ground today.

threw at least 3 rods, deystroyed the engine block, fuel line ruptured, melted the main wiring harness.

I feel its as nessesarry as seatbelts, cheap insurance for your rig.

that sucks to hear.

i didnt carry one for the longest time, but after watching one rig catch fire i decided it was time to get one. i must add too that all extinguishers should be mounted in immediate reach to the driver. none of this mounted way in the back under some crap stuff.

xjbones 10-04-2009 02:17 PM

yup i do carry one....like you i almost watched my jeep burn to the ground. not a good feeling.

Wow, sorry about your rig dude. I have one in the house and one in the garage but never carry one in either vehicle.

Ya I've been meaning to get 1 for my rig!

X1994J 10-04-2009 02:34 PM

Yes sir, it's mounted to the side of my console within arms reach. You wont catch me watching my rig burn to the ground because I didnt have a 20 dollar extinguisher.

ktmracer419 10-04-2009 02:49 PM

another school of thought is to have more than one

i have never had that happen but i used every bit of the extinguisher this time and got my second ready incase it decided to flare up again

bart 10-04-2009 03:15 PM

I carry 2. 1 each side of the load gaurd.

I do not carry one but I guess I will after hearing this. Im sorry to hear about your rigs. What size do you think I should have just the smaller one and do 2 of them or just go with a bigger one and have 1?

I used mine to save a woman from her burrning Honda civic years back. You never know what will happen.

ROCK 10-04-2009 05:29 PM

HELL YES! I have one in every car I own. I put mine under the back seat where the jack use to go, it's not at arms reach, but still really easy to get to if I need it. One on each side to, never know where your gonna be when it starts to burn.

A small one on the floor next to the driver's seat, and a larger one just inside the rear liftgate.

lilredxj99 10-04-2009 06:57 PM

I've got 2 of the small silver ones from Wallyworld.

jonnyb78 10-04-2009 07:11 PM

wow sam that sucks. nows a good time to build a stroker though. i carry 2 extinguisgers both in the rear. one on each side. should put 1 in the front within arms reach bt if my rig catches fire i will be in the back in a heartbeat so im not too worried

One right next to the E-brake handle

One in the back on the drivers side quarter panel.
