I cant take credit for this idea, I saw it somewhere. So if anyone knows who came up with it feel free to post their name.

I was going to get a rechargeable Maglite and tie it in to the trucks power, but they were about $80.. And I already had a perfectly good almost new LED D cell Maglite laying around. So instead I spent about $6 for the mounting kit

Ignore the coffee stain below the flashlight.

 

Consider that idea stolen!

 

Here is the originator..... 2004 F250 Mag Lite Install

Thats where I mounted mine too!

Here is another thread on the subject!

There has got to be a way to get that coffee outa there!

 

I havnt tried yet..

 

Water and a carpet extractor.....

 

Great idea, I am going to mount one for me and one on the other side for the wife.. Will come in handy for night operations with the 5er....

 

were did you buy the mounting brackets for that?

 

Amazon.com: MAGLITE ASXD026 D-Cell Flashlight Mounting Bracket: Home Improvement

$4.31 + free shipping (for me, I am Amazon Prime member.)

 

thanks man

 

FYI, 2000 Excursions have a smaller seat belt 'bulge' in the B pillar, but if you place the brackets close (say 1 - 1 1/4" apart) it will still work. Mounting mine tomorrow.

 

Here is my 6 D-cell Mag Lite....aka Baseball Bat!

 

Here it comes...First stupid question of the day!!

Are the mounts just screwed into the plastic, or is there something more substantial behind the plastic???

 

I used all stainless and washers with lock nuts.

 

Ordered!! I just need to determine what size MagLite to buy - the 4 cell or 6 cell.
