Default Flashlight location?

Any reason I'm gonna regret putting my mag light here:

My right leg isn't gonna hit it
My cb is mounted to my overhead lock box
I don't use that little nook next to the shifter for anything.

What am I missing?
Thanks
Steve

well i suppose, if for whatever reason it were to fall off, the flashlight could roll around and get in the way of your feet and/or pedals. have you considered mounting it to the side of your seat bracket?

I found my Maglite slides between the drivers seat rail and the center council from the rear of the seat. Fits nice and snug and I didn't have to mount/alter anything just slid right in. I'll try to get some pics up here.

I purchased a belt holster for mine and used the grab handle strap to hold it on. Also have my Gerber muilti tool there.

missing nothing. Mine is in exact same spot, easy to reach to and maglite clips hold it securely, hard to spot (and steal) when doors off

WOL, is that the 3-D or the 4-D Maglite?

The mag light is in the back. I keep a smaller flashlight un a belt clip on the grab handle strap like mentioned above. It's a bright light (105 lumens) that runs on 3 AA batteries. I figure it's more than adequate, but the big boy is in back if I need it.
