Here is a design for an 1979-83 fj40 with the plastic center console. One other mud member installed this with some minor modifications. I made some changes to the design and am willing to cut it out, prime it and send it to a mud member for a good price to try out the changes I made in the design. If someone would like to take measurements to help me make changes that would be great also.
Thanks MUD.
Thanks MUD.
Finally got my cupholders installed. I added the extra switches and the cig lighter myself.
I hot-glued a magnet to the bottom of a 7/11 "big gulp" cup. Sticks to my floorboard or tranny hump 
If you have a cup in the later model one and you're in 2nd or 4th, does it hit the cup?

On the current models in 2nd a tall cup does get hit. I am working on some design changes to lower the cup holders and reduce that. With a can of coke or something small it doesn't hit, Just my tall bike bottles. I am working on some design changes and hope to have some for sale in about 2 weeks.
awesome! Keep up the good work. Would love to get one.
Any openness to sending these to Canada yet?
Do you have any for sale yet? Would love to get one. Thanks!
Love the designs and ideas. I went the easy route and just mounted a Tuffy cup holder to the front of the console (Standard Drink Holder). It fits good and standard cups and water bottles don't hit the shifter. I have a second one I'm planning to mount on the rear swing out door behind the spare tire.

More cup holders are cut and ready to ship. I made it sit a little lower to the transmission tunnel and allows for taller cups. $35 shipped and painted black for a basic model for 73-78 years. $45 includes a 12 volt outlet. I have a couple 79-83 model cup holders being shipped out for final testing, then those will be available.
PM me.
PM me.
Is there Any chance this could work with the 1970 fj40 with the bench seat set up?

@CarDude if you can take some pictures and measurements I would be more than willing to try. Is there a bolt somewhere in the center of the seat frame to attach? Or a spot under the dash to do a single? I would like to make it where the person doesn't need to drill holes, but not sure if that is possible. Let me know. I would love to do the earlier years.
I will do some researching and let you know thanks
Having now used the cupholder for a couple months now I'm very happy. Perfect location for a beverage or to put the cell phone. Best looking option I've seen posted also.
