I wasn't specifically looking for a fire extinguisher holder when I picked this up, but it was only $20, and I was going to get free shipping on the latest order of Jeep parts if I plunked down another $20, so I figured what the heck.

So, when The Rugged Ridge fire extinguisher holder (part number 13305.21) arrived I quickly threw it on, using a standard home fire extinguisher (the kind you find at Home Depot). I mounted it to the rear roll bar, facing outside the Jeep, in what I thought would be the easiest way to removethe extinguisher. This turned out to be a mistake, because the setup would rub on my soft top.

The wrong way to mount it:

The way I ended up mounting it:

Once I had it mounted in such a way that it didn't interfear with the soft top, I tried to pull out the extinguisher quickly...it didn't want to budge. It turns out that you have to leave some give in the velcro. No problem there.

It's difficult to have the top on and lean over the back seat to remove the fire extinguisher, and, you only have a limited amount of verticle travel before the fire extinguisher hits the horizontal roll bar.

I'm not sure if any of these problems are the fault of the fire extinguisher holder, or just that there are limited places to mount it, but overal it's fairly difficult to quickly remove the extinguisher with the top on.

You can get the Rugged Ridge fire extinguisher holder at most online Jeep stores:
