I may be wrong but isnt ther enough room to mount a mini in the center console under the arrmrest...just flip open lid to see what channel u r on?

only thing worse than that ankle is casts to knees on both sides stairs really suck...i spent 4 mos that way...not xj related... Lets just say it involved a beat down and a 2 story window...got really good with freestyle wheel chair riding though...lol
