So it wont fit on the lip under the dash? That's where I've seen a lot of them mounted

I had mine mounted to the roof above the rearview mirror. It looked cool, and then had dual 4' firestick antennas on the headache rack.

Not having a manual or a 4wd square body I am not familiar with the "throw" of the shifters, but would it be possible to mount it vertically right at the edge of the front seat. Could make a vertical mount using wood or metal.

I agree mount it vertically right at the edge of the front seat if you can. It shouldn't be that awful big is it?
