And this was just on early models, right? The first year or two of production?

Yes, early models and only Trailhawks as I remember it. Even then, some claimed they didn't get the flashlight, seemed hit or miss.

 

[IDoMy0wnRacing]

I had a 2015 Trailhawk, and my current 2016 Trailhawk both didn't come with the flashlight option.

I don't know about Easter Eggs but I do know of April Fools Day (1st)

No, really.

 

[dgr401]

From what I understand it was hit or miss if your Trailhawk had the flashlight. I think it was discontinued after the first year.

I will have to make do with my 3 cell Maglite

 

[DynoDave]

Big Maglite with D-cells makes a better thumper, if needed.

 

[IDoMy0wnRacing]

lol, he said thumper...

 

[puddlesplasher]

Indeed he did.

My Maglite (Thumper) was carried as personal protection from the scumbags/druggies that frequented my taxi. It was a Thumper over the head but howabout if Jeep were to supply a lovely bracket that could be fitted in the boot to hang up my lovely black thumper

Maglite makes some. There are some others at the bottom of the page too.

I had those same Maglite holders on my old 1950 Willys.

Nice add-on also. use to call those a DNA collector. lol

 

[puddlesplasher]

A DNA collector! That has me chuckling at the moment.

Where would I mount the Mag Lite bracket so that I don't damage anything behind the screws?

Using the bezel as a window breaker brought back a little nugget of info. The tiniest piece of the white ceramic from a shattered spark plug that is then flicked against any tempered window (side) instantly shatters it. Not that I expect you to carry around shards of a spark plug. ?

That IS interesting. I did not know that.

I have not scouted the Renegade for a place to stash my Maglite yet. In my Suburban, I wedge one between the driver seat and the center console. It just stays there, no retainers required. My van, I keep it in the center console. So I think I'd look around the driver seat, under it, next to it, etc. But that's just me. I like it within reach. Upright on the back of the center console might work too.

 

[dgr401]

Try putting it upright in the pouch on the rear of the front passenger seat. I find that accessible for stuff.

 

[IDoMy0wnRacing]

I don't use a Maglite much any more, a little too old school for my taste.

The light that I carry is a little smaller but it gets the job done.

lol (no, that is not my weapon. I found the picture on the internet)

 

[puddlesplasher]

Hahahaha, I started laughing again when I seen the picture.

First thought was "Ahh, you are a Cop"

I was trying to figure that one out and couldn't comprehend

Ever forgetful am I of the pouch where I store my maps.

You have found the perfect place, readily accessible, legal to have a torch and most importantly the torch can be grabbed by the handle immediately
