maglite

yes,
I did the Maglite install on the driver's seat.
Home Depot Canada had this flashlight in the clearance bin,
I ordered the mounting brackets off Amazon. My total investment
for both is less than $25.00 plus about 10 min to do the install.
A good deal for me...

 

Link to mounting brackets?

 

Nice.

 

Great idea. Doing it.

 

Keep an eye out for the LED upgrade or your flashlight. Totally worth it for a few bucks . I did it to my 2xAA Maglite and wished I had done it sooner.

 

It says LED on the ring of the flashlight.

Big mag lites are a must -
They also serve as excellent personal defense weapons, or as I call them, "hippie wompers"

So, I go years between using my maglite. Any better tricks for keeping the batteries from dying (besides not keeping them in the flashlight)?

 

If you use a lithium battery you shouldn't see the discharge issues.

I was on my phone. Didn't zoom in.

 

You just drill them into the sides of the seat base?

 

For my install,
I removed the lower side panel on the seat.
I located the mounting points and then screwed the brackets to the side panel using the screws provided in the Maglite kit.
I also added speed nuts (bought from Lowes) for extra support on the inside of the panel

 

Yep! I've had my 4 cell mag lite between the seat and console for the past decade. The LED upgrade is a must for older mag lites! Nice mod, looks good Thats where I keep my fire extinguisher.

 

Those ultralife batteries are 3.6volts....std D-cell battery is 1.5volts.

 

Throw this in for battery life - https://malkoff-devices.myshopify.c...es/products/3-6-d-cell-drop-in-to-fit-maglite

 

Is that a 2 Cell or 3 Cell mag light?

 

this begs the question: what are you doing to get hippies coming at you?

 

It isn't obvious? They get womped.
