I have a 2-D Maglite that I’d like to mount in my truck. Anyone have ideas on where in the truck and the best way to mount it? Thanks

Can't believe they haven't put a decent rechargeable one in the door that pops out. Several autos have had umbrellas / flashlights in doors for a while. Plenty of room for such in the door panel, especially with modern batts / LEDs.

Outside of the potential 'self defense' that a maglite offered decades ago, I think a modern led flashlight will outperform and not require a mounting bracket.

I probably can't be much help with the Maglite, I just keep a Surefire Fury in the center console tray. Blindingly bright light in a very small package.

Never really thought of mounting. Just tossed into one of the many storage bins in truck. Post pics when you get yours mounted. :)

No need to mount.
Use driver side lower door storage bin. pad with some gloves or towel to prevent raddles, Easy to reach and remove while door is closed.
Maglight charger/holder in or above the storage bin would be a pain to unclip the flashlight with the door closed

Probably not much help but BMW used to make molded door panel MP5 storage for the West German police.
