I got round cup holders for my 80

[bhicks]

Here's some pics of my next two designs. The first new product to my line up is the insert for the tall skinny coffee thermos. This is something I did not account for in my original design (since I don't drink coffee) but was brought to my attention that it needed to be addressed. I went ahead and made a small batch of these which are now up on my website and up on etsy. I also mofiied my original single cup holder to have a notch on the botton to allow it to slide over the "PWR" and "2ND" buttons just like my dobule cup holder design does. I had a few mud members ask for this becausse they wanted a cup holder but had already installed aftermaket items like a 12volt plug and a GPS mount in the spot my single mounts. They needed a single that mounted further back over the buttons. So now I have that as a option. That will not show up on my website as a seperate item. I just need the buyer to send me a message that they want the single with button notch and I will ship them that version.

Here's some pics of my next two designs. Just some basic modficications to current designs that has been requested numerous times. One is an insert for the cup holders that will accept those tall, skinny, top heavy coffee travel mugs. The other is a change to my single cup holder that allows it to slide over the "PWR" and "2nd" buttons just like my front double cup holder does. I had a few folks ask for that option who wanted a single cup holder but had already installed an aftermarket mod in that area like a 12 volt plug, GPS mount, etc.

Thanks for posting the rear holders. I installed the double fronts about 4 mos. ago before he came up with the rears. Sweet.

Oops! sorry for the double post. My computer has tourettes.

Thanks for answering the questions guys. I have been super busy the last couple weeks and haven't been checking this thread enough. I have a new single cup holder option for folks with "stuff" in the way of where my original single cup should be installed. I will get some pics up of the new design tomorrow. I also have a new coffee thermos insert for the coffee fanatics that will be going up on my website soon. It will allow good fitment on those stupid tall and skinny mugs that don't seem to fit well into any cup holder. I will also get some pics of that up soon.

Any pics of the new single cup holder ?

there are a couple pics at the top of this page. It's exactly like my original single except it has a notch on the bottom (just like the double cup holder) that allows it to slide over the "pwr" and "2nd" buttons. This is for folks who have aftermarket stuff in the place I originally intended for my single cup holder.

Ordered front and rear doubles! Looks great!

Thanks for the order. The paint is dry and I will be wrapping them and boxing them up tonight. They will go out first thing in the morning.

Just jumped on the band wagon and ordered a front double cup holder. I wanted to order around Xmas, during the last sale but it was out of stock. It's such a pain when someone riding shotgun had that look like "where the hell do I put my cup". Thanks for making these I'm sure I'll love it when I receive it.

Thanks for the info. Might be easier just to buy them from you.

Looks good. Thanks for the compliment. Well.....I think the cats pajamas is a compliment.

I received the double front as a Christmas present, they are awesome especially since you've now addressed the only complaint(skinny coffee cups). I am going to have to order one of those inserts now!

I am not a coffee person myself but my wife is occassionally, so we have an insert that we keep in the glove box and she gets it out when her travel mug is coming along. She was quite excited to see how well her travel mug fit.

bhicks, is there any way to adjust the grey to match the interior a little better? I love the design but I don't want it to look aftermarket.

There is a big problem with the factory gray matching. Toyota cut some corners on that particular color of plastic. It seems to fade over the years. It fades and becomes a tad lighter and a tad more blueish. Guys that have garaged their 80 for most of its life and have a newer 96-97 era have a totally different color gray then folks with the 91ish with most of its life sitting outside. I tried to find a gray that was in the middle of that range. in technicality it is all the same color gray, BUT age and exposure to sun make a HUGE range of that one color. The Oak color for some reason does not seem to fade like the gray does so color matching it is easy. I do have a color that is closer to the factory color and if you have zero fading of any kind then it is a great match. If you have a lot of fading then it looks horrible. It is quite annoying, but I am stumped on how to address the issue.

Edit: I forgot to mention one thing. I have been thinking about just getting rid of the gray color as an option since I have had a few complaints about matching and there is nothing I can do to fix the issue. I will have a perfect match on one rig and then clash on the next. I might just go with black cup holders with the gray inserts. That way the gray color never actually touches the gray plastic of the console. If it's close then it will look perfect. I will make one of those this week and post some pics for you guys for some feedback.

I restock about every 3-4 days. I just restocked last night but had a few orders come through during the night. There may be one double cup holder left on my website www.bh3dprinting.com. If not, there will be another batch up by Friday or Saturday.

Thanks for the info, I was able to snag one today from your site
