If you cant reach it with your shoulder straps still on its worthless. Once the shoulders are off, you'll be able to get out and wont worry about putting the fire out until you are on flatground outside the vehicle. At that point the extinguisher isnt worth reaching in to get.

That's why I mounted mine at the rear of my truck. My first concern would be getting my ass the fawk out of my truck if it was on fire. I see no reason for an extinguisher to be in the cab, but different people see things differently. If I see a flame, regardless of where it is, I'm unharnessing and getting the fawk out and damn sure wouldn't want to reach back in to get it after the flames are going. Just gtfo, run (or hobble) to rear of truck where it's a little more likely to be safe, then start spraying ****. I have been thinking about mounting a 2nd one on it, and if I do, I will likely mount it right beside the one already in the rear. I just can't see any other place having more of an advantage.

I've always assumed extinguishers mounted at the rear/sides of vehicles were for bystanders to grab to assist in getting someone out. Ideally one would be within reach from the inside and 1 or 2 from the outside.

X2

I had one between the seats, and one on each pillar behind the "cab" area on my old race truck

2.5lbs can be reached from seat or outside but not while strapped in

5lb in back

Think I will go a head and order a 13.5oz. all weather cold fire for in the front to be accessible while strapped in

I had mine next to my case shifters where I can reach it strapped in for that very reason. I was strapped in when mine flamed up higher than my cage and reached in the flames to get it so I could get the fire off mine and Grandpa's legs.
It's def no good if you can't reach it
