I saw this idea on 4x4xplor and thought it was a great addition to the gadget list. The original Write-up was done by: Doug aka Thumps 09/20/03 and is available on www.4x4xplor.com
There are many ways to mount a MagLite in a vehicle. The MagLite plastic clips screwed into something, zip ties (hard to remove light), Velcro straps, rubber brackets, and even really fancy billet holders. All of these are great for holding the MagLite inside the vehicle, but what happens when you have to crawl under the vehicle at night and work on something with both hands? Holding that 3 D-cell MagLite in your mouth is difficult and of course getting someone to hold it for you is fortunate if they are there. Then I saw the write up on 4x4xplor and that gave me another idea. I used the Quick Fist® holders on my Rokmen slider install and really liked the flexibility and holding power of these mounts. They definitely hold up better than the plastic clips that you can get for the MagLites.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
