Real cup holders are a necessity!
Anyways, I'd be happy to help if I could fit a double holder up front - I have a Panavise mount and phone cradle that prevent me (I think) from using anything more than a single.
Sorry about the big delay job getting these. It's been a hectic weekend so to make sure I got a few pics I went out this evening and bought the Mag-Lite LED XL50. The pictures aren't the greatest as it's dark out and I was using a headlamp and the light on the phone. I will try to get better ones tomorrow in the daylight.
Now I know why I got slammed with orders yesterday. I didn't realize these pics got posted. Thanks for doing that. I finally have pics of my latest version installed and being used. I will grab a couple of these to update my website. Thanks again.

I relocated the front cup holders, as I initially made the mistake to push them too far forward to clear the PWR and 2ND buttons, sacrificing the front cup holder. A tall bottle did not fit there standing straight up and a pen could not really fit in there properly.
Now everything works perfectly, including the buttons.

Thanks for posting those pics. The pic of you pushing the 2nd and PWR button with cup holder installed was perfect. It's a tight fit, but they are accessible and I'm glad you were able to show that. I have already downloaded your pics onto my laptop so when I get the email question about the buttons, I can send them your pics. Thanks again.

How's the new style for the spot in front of the center console coming? I checked your website, but didn't see anything yet.
All front double cup holders that have shipped over the last month have shipped with the flashlight holder. I just need to update the pictures on my website. It has been crazy over the last couple weeks and I have not had a chance to update my site. I hope to do that this evening.
Edit: I just realized I misread your question. Your asking about the insert for the square holder at the front of the center console that came on the Yota's but not the LX450's. I have been working on it on and off for the last couple weeks. I will start prototyping next month and will probably have an example to get feedback from near the end of may and hopefully have a finalized product up on my site by mid June. Right now my current products are kicking my butt. I can barely keep up. I'm up to 10 machines running and STILL not keeping up. In order for me to release that product, I will have to remove a couple other products from my site to balance out the new demand. I'm at that point where i need to start hiring employees and rent out a space to set up shop. My garage can't handle any more growth. I am maxed out right now.

So I finally got the pics updated on my etsy page and on my personal website. I also got the descriptions changed to reflect the updated flash light holder for the front double. The front doubles without the flash light holder are now officially all gone. If someone wants one my old designs then they just sent to send a message with their order on exactly what they want. Every month I think the cup holders will slow down in sales so I can release some more products just waiting on the side lines but every month I can barely keep up with the cup holder orders. If nothing comes out this month, I WILL be releasing some things in mid June when I have some time off work.
I have a quick question for you guys and didn't really want to start another cup holder thread. I sell cup holders and even I am sick of the cup holder threads. I figured I would just add to this one. I am organizing my plans for the next couple months trying to prioritize which projects I want to focus on first. Here is my question. Are you interested in a cup holder that would sit in the square hole at the front of the center console? That hole does not exist if you have an LX450. You have a speaker there. I am talking to the Toyota guys only. My thought is to have a cup holder (being as universal as possible) and a spot for change, maybe a slot for a phone/wallet, and maybe one pen holder. Would probably be in the $40-45 range. I just don't want to commit a ton of time to this project if I only have a few guys that want one. I know musthave makes a metal one which seems like a quality product and a functional design. If there isn't a lot of interest then I will leave all of the demand to him. If there is a ton of interest then I will move foward. My break even point is going to be in the 15-20 units range. If I can get interest near that, then I will start this project very soon.
I doubt I would go for that but obviously musthave has had quite a few people who do want something there. I like the utility of that cubby as it already is. I can put easily reached junk in there (sunglasses case or wallet normally) or can fit my Camelbak water bottle with insulated cover in there if I am on a trip. Smaller drinks need to be held or wedged in place, but it still works ok for my purposes.
Since I already have your double cup holder I personally wouldn't have any use for it

If it had a phone slot I'd be interested. I don't need a pen holder.
I'd really be interested in a bezel to accommodate more switches to replace that useless little slot/tray...

The bezel is on the list as well, but probably further down the list. That will probably get released sometime in later summer. I'm trying to figure out what I want to release in June.
I forgot to add; the phone slot will be top priority after I create a functional cup holder. Any realestate left (if any)will go to coin/pen/wallet holder.

I would be interested in something functional for the useless cubby above the radio. Phone holder, GPS holder...
I tried to order one on your website, it looks like you only post to US, any chance of posting to Australia? I presume the double front holder would still work on R/H drive Land Cruisers ?

The 2nd and PWR bottoms will probably be covered up more than the LHD models. See the pictures above.
I don't know how easy it is to do a mirror image of that design for RHD 80's.

Brad...I've been interested since you started making the originals. There's plenty of 80s out there with the useless square "hole"! I am definitely interested and a phone holder/slot would be a highly desirable option.
