fire extinguisher

3rd gen Tacoma plastic bed... do you think the plastic is THICK ENOUGH to hold up a 5 lb fire extinguisher... without long-term cracking due to bumps and potholes...

 

Probably.

Why not attach it with some brackets to the bed rails?

 

I've seen other people do it I just wondered long-term truck bouncing would cause any cracks in the bed

 

I keep mine in the pocket behind the back seat. It works great for me as I always have the back seats down because of my dog.

I keep mine in the rear door pocket

 

I believe you need to do the rivet nuts in the bed if you are going to bolt the bracket directly to the bed. I am looking at this extinguisher right now https://elementfire.com/ expensive but pretty sweet and I can put one in both the cab and bed.

 

dont know what typefasteners U intend to use

if bolted use large fender washers they spread the load more

 

best option in my opinion

I’ll second the Element. Mounted in front of the seat it’s out of the way.

 

Got this as a Secret Santa gift. Love having this thing so close and readily available.

 

Found it, since I can't quote it, here's my pic...
