I wouldn't want to be sitting in a passenger position if you get into an accident. That thing will become a missile!

I made a custom mount out of aluminum 'C' channel and mounted it to the driver's seat (see link below). Easy to get to quickly, moves with seat adjustment and safer in a collision.

Just noticed your flashlight mount too......guess you'll be taking out the driver as well.

Yeah i thought the same thing when i first installed the extinguisher & flashlight.....i was thinking of doing something like that (custom mount) but i just drilled a couple of holes & bolted down the extinguisher (removed the interior panel to do it). Its really secured & not going any where (did the same with the flash-light mounts).

It might feel 'secure' but it's still only as strong as plastic. Those fasteners will pull out of there easily in a collision. Actually, the extinguisher will more than likely break free of it's holder before the holder will shear off the trim panel. Your choice, just trying to help you prevent a possible catastrophe.

All of your mods so far look great.
I'm not a fan of exhaust tips (seen many crushed on the trail) and the nerfs have got to GO, but I see you have plans for rock rails.

Thanks! I'll be looking to pick one up soon. I don't think the front seat mount would work for me because I don't have power seats.

You are making it look phenomenal. However, I have to agree with Broken Halo that some of the items look great but could cause major bodily harm if involved in an accident.
Somehow there has to be a way to achieve your visual goal and keep it safe.
