Fire extinguisher on a molle panel. Is it safe?

I don't have one yet. Still looking into it, but the Rago looks good to me.


There are a plethora of molles to choose from. Pros/cons to all.

I went with FinnFab mainly because of the rivnut holes, but liked his 12v BlueSea power panel cutout too.

I currently have my extinguisher in the little storage space on the right side. When I have my camping gear packed, it's buried and would be hard to grab in an emergency. I looked into mounting it under the passenger seat, but it seems that every mount for that spot will limit the ability to slide the seat forward. I see a lot of people using a molle panel on the rear side window to store the extinguisher. Looks like a great spot, but is there a way to do this that will be safe in an accident? I don't want that thing hitting me or my kids in the head. I see a lot of panels and mounts out there, but are they strong enough to be safe?


While mounting a fire extinguisher on a rear Molle panel may look great for Instagram that is the last place I would want it to be. In an emergency situation you want to be able to access it quickly. Mount it under your driver or passenger seat.

Don’t even get me started about people who think it’s a good idea to mount axes and shovels in the interior of their 4Runners

Under the seat is definitely my first choice, but I don't think there is a way to do it without limiting the seat position. I don't feel comfortable with it under the driver's seat, so it would need to be on the passenger side. My wife is short and I don't think it would work too well. It's probably fine for me if I was sitting there. I'd rather not put it on a molle panel, but I can't think of another good spot. If I didn't have kids I would mount it on the back of the passenger seat probably. I'm not concerned with how it looks, just want the safest place. I have never looked at Instagram once in my life, but I can imagine how much stupid stuff is on there.
