Center console side thing

[izzyandsue]

Does anyone know how to remove that thing? I know there is a single screw on the bottom, removed it. Best I can tell there is plastic tabs. But no matter what I tried, can't take that thing off.
This is looking up towards it.

Careful, that's your cupholder.

I want to put some Velcro straps to hild my 40oz water bottle, but that stupid thing is on the way, too small to hold anything.

Anyway, got out the tin snipers and began to mangle the square thing, I don't use it anyways. Here's what I found

Removed both sides and tried different ideas to secure the 40 Oz water bottle. Finally this is it below. Use the same screw and hole from the square thing, now the bottle is secured, seat went back no problem. May decide to paint it light brown and sell the kit for $29.95. Market it as "Big Gulp rare Land Cruiser proprietary cup holder". Put a Yeti sticker on it and sell for $49.95?
It's a 4 inch pipe by the way, the one spare I had available under the house.

The cupholder is secured with three screws. To remove it cleanly, pull the console out; flip it over; remove the three screws. You will need a long, thin screwdriver to reach those two that you cut up.

Add a TEQ sticker and call it a day...

No that you can carry 40oz of coffee, where are you going to mount the catch bag for the catheter?

Wouldn't work for a family sized bottle but here's another option that's cheap and easy...

Too late for me! Did the surgery with low grade explosives, but good to know for others wanting to buy my future kit.

You can never have too much coffee, but I am Cuban after all....

Ankle, duh. Or the hole left under the passenger seat after removing the rear heater.

I believe Jeff Foxworthy had a new word in the redneck dictionary, peecan.

Upgraded the cup holder to match color. Added the bottom to keep bottle from being on the way of the rear heater vent.
Total cost was under $5, I can sell them for $7.95.
The YETI version. Below is $47.88
