I posted this in my local club and it got pretty good feed back so I thought it might be worth here.

I took out my driver side oh sh*T handle and put up 2 Mag Light clips. I bought them at the local hardware store and then just drilled them to fit the bigger bolts.

I have not had it fall or move, and it sure is nice to be able to have a flashlight at that close of reach.

That is a really cool idea, I never use those handles anyway...Thomas

I think mudloving has a flashlight mounted like this. I would use some quickfists instead though, I wouldn't want to find out how much force for it to become loose.

 

[frost702]

The clips seem solid and where it is mounted does not have a lot of bending movement so it has stayed solid. I do see what you are saying though and I might change it to that if it ever falls. Hopefully not on my knee or out the window!

That's a cleaver an easy way to mount the mag light!:bigthumb: Good thinking!:rocker:

I was thinking a while back that someone could design a simple plate with slots and holes for mounting a lot of things like GPS etc to fit those handle screws. It's out of the way and doesn't inhibit the view. One could call it a "handi" mount. What do you think Bandi??

LOL! Not bad! I might be afraid of something falling out the window though.

I would have used that spot but i use that handle to much for my dukes of hazzards entrances.

So i put mine in back:

I got mine at Bass Pro Shop, less than $5.

I too have been looking for a spot to mount the MAG. What size is your's? I have a 3D cell & it is too big for that spot. I also have a 3C cell & that to is too long for the A-piller. Is my FJ a "midget" or something? I use the FJ for work every day & need the MAG at every stop I make. I like the rear mount idea but, I'd need to open the rear door every time for that. I also use the A-piller grab handle to get into the FJ. Nice mod I will try to make it work, would be very handy for my line of work.

I have a 2D. I need to add a rubber grip to it though because it does get hot.

here are a few pics of my maglite, I tried using 3m products but it didn't hold up at all.... so i drilled the brackets into the cover of the storage area... you can replace the cover if you ever want to remove the mag and mounts.

 

[frost702]

Maybe we should have the title changed to "Show us your lights". This is great ideas and I like how they are all showing off differnt storage solutions. I would also like to know if anyone has a spotlight in there storage area. I keep one in the back storage area but wold like to see if there was other options.

Northern_Cruiser the paper towel holder is genius.

I think that I am going to add in the rechargeable light somewhere but I would have a question about turning it on and off all the time. Does that effect the amount of charge it can hold?

 

[MAXXFJ]

sonof40, I checked out that post,Perfect for my needs. 1st: it's handy, right there for me. 2nd: It's much smaller & always charged, don't need to lug that 3D cell every time. And I think I'll end up mounting the 3D in the cargo area, just to have it. Tanx, I'll pick that one up this week....

 

[Northern_Cruiser]

lol frost702 just a small bungee cord between the eye hooks or what ever there called...actually seen it from another member here

 

[frost702]

sonof40 - That is some crazy money for a flash light. I do not think that I use the light enough to warrant a $90 investment. If I did not have to buy any gas at $4.50 a gallon for the cheap stuff, maybe I would do it.

 

[spincycle]

Very nice. I use these clips for my big D-cell, LED maglight in the back by the fire extinguisher, but want some way to easily mount my smaller Surefire M3 up front.
