My seat doesn't fold forward. Looking for somewhere else to mount it.

Good question and good reason to build an interior roll cage!

I have mine in the middle of the floor by the transfer case shifter. But makes middle seat less useful if equipped

Mine fits behind my back seat and is accessible without the seat folding forward. Won’t work it you have a speaker in the cab corner though. Was thinking of moving it to the trans hump tucked just in front of the bench if I put a speaker there. Will post a picture of what I mean in the morning if you’re interested.

Do you have your seat all the way back?

Yes, too tall to sit any other way. My extinguisher is a skinny (~3” diameter) average height one, but adequate for a vehicle fire.

Yeah, me too. That's why I was asking

I've got one on each side under the seat. FD tells me it won't clog the valve.

Because of this post right before I fell asleep, I had a dream where I was too tall to fit in my square and couldn’t drive it. It was messed up and depressing.

If you have a tool box in the bed you could mount it inside of it.

I do. I'm just not sure I could get all the way up there (6" lift, 35" tires), and unlock it with a key in time to get to it to put out an engine fire quickly enough.
