Just making some small brackets to screw to the frame and light mounts would be all you need. Fairly basic, I don't think there is a write-up on it. Grab some brackets from lowe's and you should be able to get it done pretty quickly/cheap

Mag makes mounting brackets for the lights. Pretty simple to pre drill the holes and mount the brackets. I suggest mounting it as far back as possible.
I mounted mine a little to close to the front and sometimes kick the front of the light when I get out of the jeep. No big deal but I might move it back some day when I have NOTHING else to do

Lowes and Home Depot did not have brackets that would work. I almost ordered them online, but found them at ACE. So look around.

Definitely get the maglite ones.

I love mine. You can also turn it on while mounted to light the floor area at night. It's come in handy before.

Any of you using the maglite mounts have any issue with the flashlight coming loose during wheeling?
