We all have a handful of the trusty MagLight flashlights laying around. In our case my husband has quite a few laying around in the closets, vehicles, and storage containers. Many of us have one in our Jeep's, and for what ever reason the MagLight mount never seems to last. Well, the stock MagLight mount finally broke on my KJ (installed by the prior owner), and so it was time for the proper mount to be installed.
To mount the MagLight, in my case a three D cell flashlight, I used a set of QuickFist Clamps on the side of the driver's seat mounts. Here's a quick write up:
Install Time: Aprox 5 min.
Tools Needed: Drill, Drill Bit, Wrench, Marker
Hardware needed: 1 pack of QuickFist Clamps, 2 #10 screws, washers, and nuts.
Step 1: Mark the location where you place the #10 screw to mount the QuickFist Clamps as seen here:
Step 2: Drill holes to accommodate the #10 Screws as seen below:
Step 3: Install #10 screws into QuickFist Clamps using the washers provided in the package.
Step 4: Install to seat mount using the washers and nuts. Be careful not to over tighten, and tighten just enough to prevent the mounts from rotating.
Step 5: Install flashlight and enjoy!!!
Note: I am sure many of you have figured this out, but to help reduce the noise of the batteries when going over bumps or washboard, we wrap each our batteries with duct tape. Start at the seam on the side, and wrap 3 times using the factory seam as reference point. Make sure that you can remove the batteries and not to over wrap them. It works like a charm!
