Xbox installation
Multipronged question here, I would like to mount an XBox somewhere in the front of my wagon, where I can remove it with ease, and hook it to a TV monitor that will be mounted inside the glove box. Any ideas? The other question, is how do I rig the XBox to play through the existing stereo system, which does have 2 external amps etc.

monitors are a dime a dozen these days. seems like a lot of people are going the multimedia route. cheap prices can be had as well you just have to be patient and look. are you wanting something removeable or semi-permanent=mounted console etc?
as far as running it through the stereo, are you running stock or aftermarket head unit?

Not sure how much you want to modify but if you are putting a monitor in the glove box, is it possible to build an enclosure that hangs below the glove box? Another thought is if there is any way to mount in the middle armrest/storage pocket. This would require some significant modification but its an idea.

xbox has regular RCA audio output, right? Just hook it up to the AUX IN ports like you would with a DVD player. Add some Y-cables if you need to. Imagine the xbox games with your choice of background music from your CD/MP3 player...
You could mount it in place of your passenger airbag, or maybe get creative with fabricating a center armrest console (behind the shifter) with the xbox built into it.
xboxes are pretty big, a PS2 would be much easier. And they don't have GranTurismo for xbox...
