Any solution for better Cup Holders (1 Viewer)

[ras0ne]

Nice!

I'm modeling mine after the ones I have in my Ridgeline, which would give it a deeper "holder" to about 3".

I can put just about anything in those cup holders.

These will have an opening of about 3.5", I would had liked to make them bigger, but there wouldn't be enough material around the edges.

Unfortunately mine will require the removal of the door, which is fine with me because I leave mine open all the time and the spring loaded mechanism is pretty faulty. I'm assuming that a lot of 100 series owners have the same issue.

Just ordered these from Amazon. Will post a review after I get them. The previous owner spilled about 20 gallons of coffee on this rig. Underneath the center console is a nightmare. Have lots of cleaning to do...

OxGord Cup Holder Insert for 05-17 Toyota Tacoma (Left & Right Pair) Replaces 66991-04012 & 66992-04012 Front Seat Center Console Liner Amazon product ASIN B071HTNHV9

Have these worked out for you?

I was finally able to convince @BenCC to build some cupholders to replace the anemic stock ones. Still in the development process but if you check the last few pages of his 3D Printing page (I highly HIGHLY recommend any of his stuff) you will see the work he has been doing. He is still working through his alpha prototypes, and like those that have great love for their own products, this is a labor of love for him so he will not put out something hap-hazardly.

Today I made this from the template.

I have some old skateboards siting around and the concave matches the curvature of the console pretty well.

As I look forward to some legit ones made by @BenCC I'm going to keep DIYing away.

I'll prob start my own thread soon if anyone is interested.

If anything I'll try to get some sort of template out, so you can cut one out yourself.

I'm sure its the same style my wife's pilot has, I've been saying I want her cup holders in my 100.

They prob are.

This will be similar.

I just ordered the foam those cup holders have so I can attach it to what I'm making.

I have the factory butterfly center, but found right sizing the cup works best for me.
Somebody mentioned 40oz cups from Walmart earlier in this post, however I found that the 30oz works for me.

Cheap and keeps my drink cold or hot for hours. All my Cruiser buddies have switched over to them.

I was thinking about something along those lines too. Similar to the ones in my 99 Taco. They're perfect

Has anyone checked out Engel's 22oz tumbler? A Florida based company that claims YETI may have ripped off some of their intellectual property to get started... Anyways, with the butterfly adjusted far left, my Engel 22 stays very nicely in my '05 LX.

So I picked up these Tacoma inserts on Amazon for cheap as decided to give them a try. They are not flush, but they do fit the area and actually hold drinks. Tried it with a large drink and did not move at all.

An alternative solution for the 98/99 100 series without the "butterfly"...

Using the right cups:

Toyota Oil Filter Styled Insulated rambler cup

I’ve had a few of these made up to mirror the image of the 15600-41010 filters that I’ve sold in the past (still have a few...) My wife and I designed these to fit more common cup holders and they are high quality insulated ramblers. They fit my 2004 tacoma perfectly. I’m asking $35 each plus...

You rock! Thanks for the connection. This is exactly what I was hoping to see!

Awfully serendipitous here, but… I happen to have a 100 (1999) and a Tesla Model Y (I guess the gas mileage averages out between the 2…) anyhow…. I noticed the cup holder shape is VERY similar. If you’re looking for a near-OEM-style fit, here you go:

Tesla Model Y cup holder insert fits VERY clean in 100s (at least the early models; not sure how the space evolved after the 2000 and on…)

[Eighteen11R]

Thanks for sharing. Ordered one for our '07 LC. We'll see if it works on the later models...

Cheers mates,

Could you check to see if this fits the rears? Thinking inserts would help keep things from spilling over.



Thanks!

Good question. I walked out to snap a a few pics (front and back). As luck would have it, looks like the Tesla Model Y insert works in the back, too (with very little distortion; would certainly work for holding a drink):
