[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 744197, member: 52914"] The biggest concern with mounting it inside the storage compartment inside the cab is time. If something happens to where you need the extinguisher, you need to be able to get it as fast as possible, time is key when dealing with fires. You, or someone else, will probably be in a panic and having to whereabouts to fold the seat down, assuming no one or nothing is preventing that from happening, then fumbling with the storage compartment can waste valuable time. Between the two locations, to me, the best is the bed. Less hassle to retrieve it and it is in a openly visible location where with a quick glance anyone knows where it is and could be able to use it. Of course, the downside to an externally mounted extinguisher is the possibility that it will be used to break into the truck. You've got to weigh the pros and cons of each...easily accessible to anyone? Or difficult to get at in an emergency? [/QUOTE]
