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.

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.

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

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?

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.
