We got our hands on a 96-01 Prado console recently from a customer and we were able to come up with some functional cup holders. So you can't say we didn't make you guys anything. After some real world testing and final updating; we have our designs wrapped up and now in production. We made a small batch that we just stocked and have a larger batch in production now. That storage cubby was rather small which greatly limited our ability on the cup holder design. Our goal was to at least make sure we could get two insulated tumblers in it at the same time. That way we can be sure most cups on the market can fit in this. This will NOT hold a large insulated bottle like a Hydroflask or Nalgene but we developed the ashtray insert that can do that. Here is what we came up with. Unfortunately most of you are overseas and we are here in the US so I fully understand that shipping costs kill the prospect of a purchase for most and there is nothing we can do about that. I didn't really plan to develop a cup holder for a non-US cruiser but the persistency of the requests from this crowd got old and I eventually caved.

This is the rear design that replaces the OEM ashtray. We were not limited by space as much so we had the ability to go with a larger diameter for the large 36oz. and 40oz Yeti and Hydroflask bottles when the removable insert is removed. When it's in place you have a 3.2" hole that can hold just about any other cup on the market.

Awesome! Thank you for doing this. Before I order, which platform do you prefer to receive the order on? (e.g. which platform takes less from you?)

They both suck when it comes to fees and take about the same amount. Use whichever you prefer.

Thanks for the orders guys. We made a small batch of 10 to start for each design. We have 3 left of the front cup holder and 5 of the rear cup holder. Another batch is in production now and that will probably last for a while. I don't anticipate this being a huge seller since this is for a Non-US rig and we are located in the US. If demand is low then we will just stick with the two batches we made and will be done with it.
 
Depending on how well the physical items sell, once they're gone it might make sense to sell the 3D print file. No shipping costs, worldwide market.

We don't typically sell our files but in this situation it may make the most sense. We will give it a couple months to see what type of demand we get.
 
Got mine today, the fit and finish is perfect! This is a very nice and affordable quality of life upgrade - thanks again for making these, @bhicks !

If you get a chance; post a pic of it installed. I only had the one console/customer to work with so my pics of the cup holder are very limited.
 
Not sure what pictures are wanted, but here ya go @bhicks I'm not driving at the moment due to recovering from a bicycle accident (broken hip, ribs, shoulder munged), but if you want I can get some with bottles/cans in it.

I ordered one and it works great. I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't use Stanley cup-like thermos thing, but this cup holder works just as well with connivence store soft drink cups (even 44oz ones) and it's good for bottled water too.

Hi, anyone knows if there’s DOT certified tail lights for LC90/rzj95?

You don't need DOT approval as the 90 is over 25 years old and Federal standards don't apply to the truck anymore. If you have a Euro/UK spec upgrade to the JDM rear lights as they have the turn signals built into the light and they put them in the rear bumper in other markets.
 
These cup holders have now been available for a couple months and I can say I was pleasantly surprised at how well they sold. Being a non-US model I was afraid the international shipping and scarcity here in the US would make sales difficult but I was wrong. We have had a hard time keeping them in stock. Just in the last week sales dipped enough that we could get a really nice sized inventory set up and allow us to focus on other things. I really appreciate the mud community and consistently supporting my little business.

I am not seeing the 90 specific ones on the site, can you link directly?
 
Scroll back a bit. Post #3 has the links. We didn't post this product on our own website cuz it didn't quite fit into any of the category tabs. We did post them on eBay and Etsy and we'll get them up on Amazon soon.
