What are people doing for cup holders if you have a bench seat???

If you have some mounting bolts that are accessible at the bottom of the bench seat frame I would be willing to make some adjustments for a bench seat model. Or I can try an ash tray or steering column version. Let me know.

@Ranchrider I can try and look around. Do you know the outside diameter of the cup you have?

Got a Yeti mug for Christmas that is just a tad too big to fit in the cup holder so..... if you do find an insert with a bigger diameter, I'd be interested also!

I also got a Yeti 20oz tumber and it does not fit the cup holder insert. But everything else fits perfectly.

Ditto.

Maybe just make the plastic inserts just straight all the way down with out the step then a guy could maybe use foam to size it to fit his mug of choice. Just an idea to help out in design hell i just want one to stop things from falling over

I also received a 20 oz yeti, so I will start doing a little r and d and see what we can come up with.

Are you still making these? I was looking at potentially converting the ash tray to a pop out drink holder. Has anyone tried that?

I made mine from 6mm wire, and fitted it to the screen wing bolt. View attachment 1245693

Great idea! Looks sweet
I'm going to give this a crack for my FJ45. Was it Gal 6mm wire? Did you have to heat it to bend it or has it got a bit of flex?
Cheers

I also have a bench seat and looking for cup holder options...The under the steering column looked like it would be perfect would love to buy one...was that design ever made?

Thanks in advance,

Wow, wish I found this thread earlier...I just ordered one of these:
Etsy - Sign In

Im going to try and add a dual USB port once it arrives.
But he also makes this for the Ashtray:
Cup Holder Ashtray Insert 40 Series 81-84

And he also has a pretty nice looking Ashtray replacement for only $40...I ordered one of these too as mine is missing.

Hey thats mine in the picture haha. Its really a great holder i love it

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.

Some 3+ Years later, did the Tuffy stay on as your prime cupholder or did you replace it?

I am making and shipping some new and improved cup holders that bolt to the factory center console. Some MUD members have requested them so I am going to make a batch and get them out the door. Hopefully some more information will be available soon with pricing and pictures. Thanks MUD.
