Mini mag at gpca grab handle pouch up front, and another tucked into the straps of a molle bag on the tailgate.

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.

How much above the rollbar does it stick up, vs flush with rollbar or below? I love this one but have the sky one touch top and there's not a lot of space up there.

That's the one accessory I do not have to worry much about anymore .I have few Dollarama LED flashlights around my home . I took one with fresh AA batteries and then the easiest place to sink that flashlight in seemed to be the glove box. It works great for me.

From a quick view of the above these are all great lights and placement hacks, but seem to have the same limitation: batteries subject to time and temperature power reduction.

I stick this on the Sports bar in rear with its magnet. I power it with a long USB cord pugged into a port in my console's back seat interface. These USB ports only work when the engine is on, and for a few minutes after, so for all the otherwise little power this flashlight consumes from the rig's batteries charging its own, the engine's alternator is essentially providing the power.

This flashlight lights things up as if it were day.

Pretty sure it sits just below the roll bar. I'll take a closer look when I leave the office today.

I really like this. Did you diy this or is there a link to purchase this?
^^^^^

That was a quick DIY. I had the clips already from my previous XJ and just used zip-ties to secure the clips to the head-rest posts. It seems secure and is in reach when I need it.

I found that the Braun flashlight from Harbor Freight fits nicely between the Handbrake and console. I put one of those magnetic mini usb plugs on it so I can easily attach the charging cable without picking up the flashlight. https://www.harborfreight.com/390-lumen-magnetic-slim-bar-folding-led-work-light-63958.html

That HF light is my favorite, and I have an embarrassing large collection of flashlights. It’s almost always on “sale” for 19.99 with a coupon.
