Flashlights, where are you all mounting them?

[S2k Chris]

I use a SureFire Titan Plus.

Just throw yourself a small good quality light in your storage cubby and retire the old D-Cell Mag light.

I have an OLight Baton I keep in my arm rest (with some spare CR123s), plus a couple of those cheapy stick LED lights for working on stuff scattered about, but it's still nice to have the big D maglite for, umm, stuff, if you need it. I'm a big dude, but if I'm going to stop and help someone on the side of the road at night I'd rather have the maglite with me for light/reasons than the Olight (which is about the size of a key FOB and worthless at everything but light).

This works pretty well...

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Nice, thanks. I need to see how it mounts with a soft top.

I mount mine to the roll bar. Works fine- battery check every month. No issues.

Unfortunately doesn’t play well with a soft top.

My GPCA grab handles have a pouch for a mini mag lite.

I'm waiting for the Mopar Grenade in the fall.

Rear roll bar

Yep. Me too. But I went with firecracker red for a nice “emergency equipment” look. And, I plan on installing a red fire extinguisher on the other side.

I always have multiples of flashlights around. Some Costco big ones and some rechargeable hi-tech .

Fishbone Offroad mount. Just make sure you mount it on the wifey's side of the Jeep if your tall. I hit my head on it twice already.

I sure see a lot of flashlights (and other items of mass) that are installed in a cool location, but not sufficiently retained. Think about the forces of a collision sideways or from the front or rear. Those brackets that are just a plastic clip mounted at head height scare the bejeepers out of me. As a former aircraft design engineer we had to ensure objects of mass, such as flashlights, fire extinguishers, medical kits, etc., could survive an impact, and remain affixed to its mount.
Just a thought. Be safe.

I have my big MagLite just stashed sticking out from under my seat, but I’d love a bracket of some type holding it in that location. I’ve seen a few for the JK, still hoping one come out for the JL.

Lost interest in larger bulky flashlights awhile back.
This one rides in the center console with an additional set of batteries because I dont use the recharge feature.
3 different modes and brighter than a MagLite if need be.
