I bought the flashlight holder by rugged ridge for my 3 cell Mag Lite. I was hoping to mount it on one of the horizontal bars but the weight of the flashlight makes it impossible for it to stay parallel with the bar. The unlimiteds dont have any veritcal bars, just the slants on the back. The issue with that is that its highly visible and could be snatched nonchalantly by a passerby. any ideas on where to mount my flashlight/weapon?

 

I dont know about the RR mount, but I got the Mag light mount and mounted them on the seat frame. One on each side.

 

I like that idea, out of sight out of mind. i threw away the plastic wrapper my flashlight mount came in though, maybe i can use it for something else. did you make the mount or buy it?

 

i did the same thing. mounted it on the side of the seat frame. got the brackets for it from lowes. simple and very clean. don't have any pics with me right now though.

 

I bought one set at the local Army Navy surplus store and the other set I found at a military and police uniform store thats local to me, its called Neve's uniforms.

Like mentioned, I have heard of others finding them at Lowes and Home Depot, but I havnt seen them there, at least not near me.

I can try and snap some pics of just the clips later and post them up.

HTH

 

rugged ridge makes them now. just checked the 4wd site. not sure if i could put up a link or not but they are $9. i don't think i paid that much for mine, you may also be able to get them at a hardware store.

 

Ok, here are some pics of just the clips

 

I paid $5 for each set of mine

 

I prefer the M-Pac stuff. Springtail Solutions. They have some great storage solutions including quickfists for flashlight storage. Check 'em out.

I went to home depot and they didn't have anything along these lines. Who manufacturs those clips and are they made specifically for the mag lite?
