Thumbs up MagLite Flashlight Seat Mount Write-Up



Because you never know when you’re gonna need a little extra light, I like to carry a good MagLite flashlight with me in my JK. Unfortunately, there really aren’t a whole lot of convenient places that you can store one without it rolling around while you drive and driving you nuts. And, that’s why I decided to secure mine with a mount. Fortunately, MagLite sells a basic wall mounting kit that you can buy for cheap at your local hardware store and, it can be installed in minutes. Here is a quick write-up I did to show you how easy it is to install.

Can this be done on an '11? The seat frames look different.

Did this simple and easy mod on my 2010. Nice having the flashlight handy and always there. I recommend this one.
