maglight makes some car mounting brackets for flash lights..As for an extinguisher..well most should come with mounting brackets just make sure you bolt those to metal and not plastic..
On the flashlight this is what I am talking about..

Well what you can do is take the side molding stuff in the rear out and weld a bracket there to the body and then mount the mount to that and then the extinguisher and such..I may not be explaining it right and if I could find that darn write up I saw once I could show ya..lol

Dont have a picture of the mag back there...but I've got a picture of where I have mine mounted next to the tcase handle using the same mag lite clips (the first ones you posted). I can post that if you're interested.

What kind of brackets did you get? I orig. got mine from Home Depot, but that was about 4 years ago and if memory serves they were on clearance. I've been looking for them for a friend of mine and haven't been able to find them in the store locally.
And for anybody who might be interested, my set up by the tcase handle:
Comes in real handy for grabbing it while i'm getting out of the Jeep, or if I need to grab it while i'm driving.
