i mounted a fire extinguisher on my rear door above the sub woofer near the lock!!... pic sucks....

 

how did you mount into the door panel?

 

i was going to do that as well i want to use something like this. in the same spot.

 

i used 3 self tapping 5/16 head 1.5 inch long sheet metal screws!!!


works for me i'll get better pics

 

Hey, I've got the same thing in the same place. Used threaded rivets. Works great.

 

heres some better pics





the cargo cover still works.... the fire ext. just pushes the edge up a little bit.. no biggie

 

my other idea was to mount it to my SS gate but i think i will save that real estate for a grill and table.

 

That's my plan exactly...any thoughts on table design?

 

yeah i was going to use a piano hinge and a piece of SS with two fabric straps that would be permanetly affixed and a little hook and bolt thing to lock it in place. see my awesome drawing below.

 

I am doing something similar with a toolbox. I took off my rear gate panel, stripped off the old vinyl cover, cleaned off the foam backing, covered it with aluminum sheet metal, going to have it rhinolined, and screw it to the tailgate. Then I am going to mount the box. It is about 15" long and about 10" tall (maybe a little off on meas but close enough). I am going to screw through the lid into the tailgate. I mounted straps to the inside for hanging support, put dividers in, and made a hinged lid for the inside to hold the tools in place when I fold it closed and to make a table when the tools are not needed. When I get everything done and reinstalled I will post a pic. Kind of gives me double duty on the table idea. I am close to done. Just need to get the panel rhinolined and then do the install. It's gonna be pretty cool.
