http://www.firesafe.org.uk/phase-out-of-halon-in-portable-extinguishers/ here is a link that can help explan the properties of halon 1211. Understand that halon 1301 is releasing agents like computer rooms. Just don't want to get the 2 mixed up.

@LBarr2002 didn't you post a link to what you bought recently? I am wanting to outfit the CJ with something nice before we head out west.

Tripp was going to see about getting some extinguishers locally but that kinda fell through before the original planned trip. I do still need to get something though.

I did get a mount from Offroad Anonymous. https://www.offroadanonymous.com/product/offroad-quick-release-fire-extinguisher-mount/

My guy basically said, get something bigger than a 2.5lb... not enough trigger time with that size. I think he recommended a 5 lb unit... Dont recall.

That's what you told me. Do we know what 5lbers would cost in different quantities?

Not really

Tripps contact came in a bit higher than what I found, and probably wouldn't get here in time. I'm going to order 1 or 2 asap and hope it gets here.

@matth_85 want me to look at shipping on higher numbers? If it's only a 5-10 dollar savings may not be worth ordering together.

matth_85 · Jul 28, 2020

Ill probably just have one shipped to the house. You buying same place brooks did?

That would be sweet. If she's headed that way she could drop it by Quality. Finishing Teijin today so it's hit and miss when i'm in Greenwood from here on out.
