My “simple” question has brought out a plethora of great information! Keep it up guys!

I've never(thankfully) had to use an extinguisher on my own vehicle. I have on others though. Frankly, if the fire was on mine, it would be traded pretty quickly, so not really worried about the corrosion possibility. And neither of the two vehicles I helped put out were upset about me not...

And installed…

Well, they paid about what I would for another one of those overpriced, overhyped coolers…good on them!

Not really any power tools, although I did wish I'd had an electric chainsaw once last year, cut through the down limbs with a Silky saw, but the electric would have been quicker. Less cardio though, lol. We do not rock crawl, mostly doing forest service roads, or as we call them North...

I ordered a 5# dry chemical H3R last night. By the way, before placing the order with H3R, I checked the shipping costs, $74.24 for the extinguisher and mount to be shipped via UPS!!!! Ordered the exact same from Amazon, the unit price was less than $3 difference, and I have free shipping with...

Thanks, but no need. Spent many years as a firefighter, safety supervisor, member of the Local Emergency Planning Committee, and American Society of Safety Engineers. And you are right, even firefighters often don’t know how to use them! But the most hilarious things I remember happening...

What brand extinguisher did you choose, and why? The H3R is steel canister with steel valves I believe, and thus about twice the price of a similar Amerex with Aluminum canister and steel valve.

Hmmm, they also have a small range, require you to be close to the fire to reach it, and are not rechargeable. As a former firefighter, I’m very leery of those things. About the biggest benefit to them I can see is the size. As a secondary extinguisher, they look very good, have excellent...

Want to add one to my Rubicon. Any recommendations? Looking at H3R, the non-Halon versions, and mounting a 2.5 pound to my rollbar.

Much of the washboard type damage we see is from dummies gassing it up hills and rutting it up as they bounce. Do you disconnect the sway bar also? Easy push of a button on my Rubicon.

Anyone watch Wayalife?

So here’s my question: I have a 2021 JL Rubicon, it is my third or fourth Jeep, and I dearly love it. 2.0 Turbo/8-speed, 4.10’s. Totally stock Rubicon. I haven’t found anywhere I wanted to go that I can’t in this thing, so no modifications yet. We do our off-roading more as “overlanding” or...

Following. I’m in the upper east TN area, and am interested myself. Apparently, we are the only ones though, lol.
