No pics, but I bet you can find some clip-type mounts from a fireman supply catalog or emergency/ safety company. Those catalogs are completely geeked out for flashlight crap. I used to also see them in the hord of paramiltary crap that I used to get in the mail as I was a reloader for some time. Some of these miltary/surplus companies sold them for years. I regret not buying a few myself, but with a soft top I won't even install a radio for fear that the top will get cut. The only thing I leave in me truck aside from the seats are a pack of matches, fix-a-flat and the registration.

go to the hardware store, there are several types of clamps they sell for various stuff that will work, I used some round clamps that have bolts with wingnuts to hold the flashlight, mounted it on the drivers side floorboard.

Mines on the tranny hump just rear of the shifter.
Clamps were from WallyWorld, made by Mag, I think they were between $5 and $10.

Stick shift looks like a good place to me.
mine is mounted to the under side lip of the dash under the glove box next to the heater duct (duct may be differant in the US spec 40's)
monted with genuine MAG clips.....think they were $15AUD for the pair off Mr Snap On

I went to a camping supply store and for some magnetic clips. They clip to the light and stick wherever you put it with no holes to drill.
They were 3 bucks each so I put ligths in all the cruisers.

An elegant solution is from FourTreks with Luke's modular clamps.

I'll take one of those, perfect for thinning traffic..... 
Mag Lights are soooooooooooooooooooooooo 1980's
get a Surefire G2, its small, bright, can hold it in your mouth(when working on rig) Or even a Streamlight Poly Stinger.....rechargable and a nice light.
maybe even a LED of some sort.
didnt' even know they still sold mag lights

you can always locate a "quick fist". I plan on purchasing some for my flash lights, and fire extinger.
I believe you can find them at PORC in packs of two pretty reasonably. I also think 4x4 groupbuy.com has them as well.

Can't hit somebody with the Surefire....use a peice of PVC pipe and mount it up right and just drop the light in.Mag Lights are soooooooooooooooooooooooo 1980's

Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi All:
I have an old "Con-Ferr" brand center console between the front seats in my FJ40 (this the type that bolts on top of the factory "tray" that si between the front bucket seats.)
I mounted a three cell MagLite inside this console using genuine MagLite clips; it holds the flashlight very well and it is out of sight of the casual thief.
Regards,
Alan
