I bought an element E50 fire extinguisher and a lot of the 4x4 clubs require that it be “within reach of the driver” for quick access. I wanted to mount it to the lower seat but unlike my 2011 JK jeep there really wasn't anything to attach it to. I saw this generic wraparound model but it limits the forward seat travel and that didn't work for my wife.

My first design was the overhead clips. Print 2 of those and use zipties to secure to the driver side roll bar. You might want to put some duct tape on the surface where it interfaces with the roll bar because it rubbed and scratched the trim a little on my jeep. Another con to this design is that I bumped my head on it occasionally… YMMV.

After wheeling with the overhead clips for a while I noticed a small S-shaped slot in the seat frame. The seat bracket model is designed to fit through that slot and then you can secure it by looping a ziptie through the two small holes. Cons to this device are that it's a pain to install and you have to open the door to reasonably deploy the E50 but it fits my use case better. Print this one with the clip vertical and support under the slot cutout. If either design isn't tight enough on the E50 just hit it with a heat gun or hair dryer and pinch it slightly.
