Another issue with maglites are that their bulbs will burn out or can break if you drop the light. Of course, you can upgrade to an LED but why polish a turd?

Meh My Polished turd 4 D cell Maglight that I converted to LED 2 years ago has seen its wicked share of rough play and still works fine. Fallen from attic down the ladder , off the Dodge's hitch and nothing but driveway / Left under hood of said dodge using body (Tube) as a cheater bar for a wrench. And lastly last winter left it on in the Jeep for what had to be a week and that light was still going! But as far as beam pattern yes Turd is correct

Added a shovel mount today. Total cost was about 12 bucks (excluding the cost of my new shovel). It's in there pretty sold and I'm pretty happy with it.

Added some new hood stickers. The center one was a bit of a pain, but we got it. The side hood ones were pretty easy.

What do ya think?

I feel the need to be a devils advocate right now so to all these guys that swear by the LED flashlights: my 4D maglight has much better range then any LED I've ever seen hands down. It may not last as long, it may be heavy as crap but I can spot out 50+ yards with it. And it's a fraction of the cost of the "good" LED lights. Now that being said, LED is better for close range (10') and wide angles so I do keep a couple handy but when I want some serious light I'll grab my mag.
