yeah, i wanna get the maglight set that charges. i would plug it in and mount it in the trunk somewhere where that plug in the back is...just wanted to know if anyone has mounted it there before

You could do a vertical mount similar to a fire extinguisher mount right above or next to the DC outlet. I've seen some mount it with clips along the side of the driver's seat but it's a PITA to get to without opening your door.

Forget the antiquated Maglight and get a Surefire L.E.D flashilght, pumps out 3 times more light then a 2 D standard maglight, is tiny, tuff as balls, incorporates a clip for easy pocket carry, has a run time of 1.5 hours on high (The L1) and is bad ass. I have several versions, but I keep the L1 in my X, the clip is smaller and fits in the center consloe better. And I don't need to find any mounting places for the HUGE outdated maglight!

Yeah. I'll agree Grinder that is a nice light and probably fits well anywhere and throws alot of light. But that wont replace a 4D Maglight if you needed to beat someone's A$$, like say if someone was trying to carjack you or something. Unless of course your carrying a gun somewhere in your X, or large knife.

I have seen them on the side by the glove box: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/vaxcevents/XterraCBinstall3.jpg (Thats DaveC's X)

I have also seen them on a Lobo Rack:http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/cmhxterra/lobo/installed2.jpg (ThenewX.org)

You could go with a smaller light, like perviously posted. I personally like the big maglight, it really boastes big and badass. Although, I know the Surefires are bright as hell. Their are, however certain other forums dedicated to making maglights brighter. Different bulbs, housing, etc. I am not an expert on that stuff, but I know it exists.

Hope that helps, post up some pics with you finish. Good Luck!

Usually on the ass works for me.

x2, picked mine up at Ace as well. On my last Xterra I used them to hold the license plate bracket onto the roller fairlead so I could stay "legal".

I've since moved my Mag Lite though (sorry Shaun, I know you're disappointed :mocking:) to the same area that Ian has his, except mines along the bottom of that window ledge rather than the top. Works well there.
