    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    My bad, guess I could have looked at your pictures. You'll figure something out i bet. What about something fabbed up right underneath the front of the driver seat? be creative, that always gets points on here. Best of luck to ya.

    I like all of the ideas thrown out so far..
    Any idea where to find the mounts on line? None of the local stores have them around here.

    Here is my mod:

    Ditch the mag light! Too big, too heavy!

    Get a surefire E2 Defender! Has way more power than a mag light and is 1/7th the size! Fits in your console!

    http://www.surefire.com/E2DL

    Mag lights were cool back in the 80's :)

    Here we go again..........................

    Surefire are probably the finest best flashlight out there, but the prize is insane, with the prize of one surefire light, I can buy 8 maglight sets and scatter them around the house, vehicles and my family homes too.

    I got 1 3D Mag behind the rear seat, one minimag tied to the shift stick, 2 elcheapo LED and laser combo in the glove box and one tripod stanley on the rear door pocket. All this and not even $50.00 spended on lights.

    Did I mention how many lights I got at home......................

    Mag lights are still very cool to bash someone with in the need arises. I guess you could blind them with the other flashlite. If some shit ever goes down, my mag light could probally kill someone if I hit them in the head.

    I got the maglite, 2 box cutters and a nice piece of pipe perfectly tuned. I am not a violent man, but if someone comes grabbin' I'm ready!

    fenix, o-light, surefire, etc...... blah blah blah people will always stand by there maglites until they see one of these flash lights in person. My little 2 AA fenix ld20 is twice as bright as my 3d LED maglite.

    you can get AA versions of most of those lights. Thats why i chose mine to run on AA's. Not quite as bright, but way cheaper than those cr123 batteries

    They also have a tendency to explode... only if mixed but it's easy to forget.

    I just keep a mini LED maglite in my Taco. It's just in my glovebox though. What did you use to mount that there? I like that.

    Just a set of mini maglite mounts, only place I could find them was on Amazon.

    http://www.amazon.com/MAGLITE-AM2A496-Mounting-Brackets-Black/dp/B000056BMU/ref=pd_sim_hi_5

    Take the black part off of the console lid (a few screws) then put on the mounting brackets and reattach to the lid.

    I mounted mine behind the little fold up storage thing in my extended cab, it was the only place I could find that didn't get in the way and screwed into metal.
