Maglite Mod

This is a handy addition to any vehicle, especially a Jeep. A 3 D-cell LED Maglite is small enough to stay out-of-the-way when you don’t need it and large enough to offer a descent amount of light when you do. Plus, its heavy enough to use as a club/weapon if necessary. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend gave it to me last Christmas. I believe they were able to find of special at Lowe’s during their Black Friday Sale.

The mount is made by Maglite, I pick it up at Bass Pro for $5. Throw away the hardware that comes with it and buy some high quality, self-tapping, screws at your local hardware store. I pre-drilled the holes after marking their position with a pencil. That’s all there is to it. The LED bulb doesn’t drain the batteries in the flashlight. I’ve found I use it most when I’m vacuuming my Jeep or working under the hood. It’s nice to be able to put light on the floorboard/engine bay when you need it.
