Didn't see any threads on this specific product so I figured I'd give this a review. As we all know the OEM LC/LX cupholder is an awful design with its shallow opening and lack of circular shape.

I've had my eye on a new cupholder/insert and obviously the one from BH3D printing is the front runner. Plenty of people on here have it and it seems to work well. However, right before I pulled the trigger one caught my eye on Etsy when I googled "LX570 cupholder." This seems to be a pretty new offering and I'll post the link below.

What caught my eye besides the $33.99 price was that it seemed pretty low key as well as having the option for a "Land Cruiser" or "Lexus" engraving on it. Overall, I wanted something that didn't look too bulky. Paired with being able to return it, I figured I'd give it a shot. Overall, really like it so far for my needs.

Basically, this is just an insert that gives a circular shape + extends the depth of the current cupholder WHILE RETAINING the use of the factory splitter/divider. That is something that I actually like as it keeps something smaller (say a .5l water bottle) from rattling around - something the other ones don't offer. Quality is great and it comes with 3M velcro on the bottom pre-applied that keeps it in place.

For reference, I've got the center divider one notch over making the driver side hole a bit bigger. Fits my 32oz Owala bottle (3.43" dia.) PERFECTLY this way + the lady's 30oz Stanley (way smaller at the base). Will definitely be keeping. LINK HERE. The pics on Etsy are awful (to be fair mine aren't terrific) which actually made me a bit skeptical at first.

I like. That's a pretty brilliant and simple way to improve the cupholders!
 
Does the lid still close?

That's important for those of us who only drink socially.

:cool:
 
Unfortunately, no. The lid does not close. Once again I blame the poor design from Toyota/Lexus. If it did with that much extra room they probably would have made the holder more deep to begin with.

However, the velcro makes it somewhat easy to remove for that "sleek" look. Lol. Along with being able to clean if you drop crumbs/spill.

Thanks for the tip. The shop also had one that fits our LC100 and other models with this design issue
