Cup holder

[ScottyB]

Frustrated with the lack of options for cupholders and consoles...I built my own today out of wood. I covered the new console/cuphold with fabric to match my trucks new interior. The console sits on the transmission hump instead of the bench seat. It holds four drinks, the upper two are for larger gut buster drinks (44 oz) and the lower front two fit cans. The cosole was also built to accomodate a place to hold my cell phone in transit.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Here is what I came up with, still need to complete it today. I initially built it planning to set it on the floor "hump", although it can also be set on the bench seat too. Didn't think of that until I moved it to take this pic...lol

Decided to add some brushed aluminum to accent the top of the cup holder/console. I also attached the console to the trans hump with metal angle brackets and some self tapping screws. Makes more sense in my situation to attach it there rather than on the seat since I have a center seat belt and a small passenger (one of the kids).

My bench seat looks like crap...it's next on the list to get re - upholstered.

If "cup" is a euphemism for "beer can", here is what I designed and developed:

Buy a fresh roll of 2 inch duct tape. In the area just behind the transfer case gear selector, wipe the dirt and dust off the flooring that covers the transmission tunnel. Place the roll of duct tape - with one of the sides facing down - firmly on the tunnel. Push down hard on the other side of the roll and start driving around (helps to blast the heat - you get a better bond to the flooring). Within a day that duct tape will be a permanent fixture in your truck. Drop your beer into the center hole of the duct tape roll and you're good to go - lasts years. And, as a bonus, you will always have a good supply of duct tape right there next to you.

Feel free to claim this idea as your own.

I did that in my 79 GMC back in the 90's, worked great. Except I had it more towards the front of the seat and it never tipped over. If I went off road it got set on the floor.

Nice job!

Something like that would be perfect and not too hard to make, but I'm in the process of selling my truck, so I won't be able to enjoy it :'( Maybe in the future I'll have the time and money for a square body. I'll miss it.

I built one that sits on the hump as well. But mine has a spot for one cup. And five toggle switches. It's pretty small because its a manual 4x4.

Here is mine. Had this for 15 years now.

I built one in welding class back in high school. It was a single cup holder that slid in the ash tray slot. Its nothing fancy but it held any cup or soda bottle. Best part is that it was free. Lol

I have seen the bike holder ones used and just bolted to a console or dash.

or something like this if you have a cage or bar of any sort forgive the writing on the top left but hey it would work

That is lovely in a manly sort of way.

heres the bike things

What about mounting the cup holder in gimbals. That way - when you're making evasive maneuvers - the liquid in the cup stays level and doesn't tend to slosh out.

Or maybe if if you are married, something like this might be an option - it is commonly known as a redneck cupholder:
