My Maglite Install in Cargo Area (2 Pics)

Well, I finally bought my mounts off line for my 4D Maglite.. Man this is so bright! As you can see in the pictures, its mounted by the glass on the passenger side. I made two very small pilot holes so the screws would set really tight againt the plastic. It's mounted pretty strong, surprisingly. Anyway, I suggest this mod, the whole thing with the flashlight cost less than $30. So now I have light if the situation should arise. Better to be safe, than sorry! Thanks guys!

BTW... if anyone can resize these pics for me, that would be great......or just tell me how.

i got mine at wal-mart or target.
SO most people should be able to pick them up locally.
I have mine mounted just the same as u, only its on the opposite side (drivers side, rear window)

 

[MattStarr]

I had to buy them offline b/c none of the stores here in SC carried them. I checked everywhere... walmart, target, home depot, lowes, sports authority...EVERYWHERE!!! I really like how its mounted though, I was very impressed with how well I can turn a screw driver!

I just keep my light in the "map pocket" at the bottom of the drivers side door. Access us easy and cost nada.

It doesnt look cool in a pocket though!

Not a priority for me.

Further, it is not visible for a would be thief and cannot go flying in an accideny. I would hate to get hit in the head with one of those things.....

What's going on with your spelling today, Al?

Actually, you could point the flashlight lens pointing back, as it's more aerodynamic that way.

 

[aldive]

About the spellen, the Jawga in me is vomming out.

Of course the lens is pointed backwards......

 

[MattStarr]

oswap~ thanks for the resize!!.... you mind telling me how to do it for future reference?

 

[MattStarr]

Oswap~ you going to tell me???

 

[RobertF]

Photoshop? Then go to Image->Image Size. I popped in 400 for the width and clicked ok.

I only get here once a day or so Yesterday I was busy mounting my new tires and AAL's

That would be illegal... I can not condone this or approve of this... Actually yeah I can, I'll admit, I'm guilty of this too. You figure the price you pay for software is ridiculously high. For instance Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Why pay $400 when you can get it for free. But I did not say that.
