It's true that my cupholder sucks. It truly, truly sucks. I've broken two so far. There's a permanent sticky drip all the way down the dash. I drink a lot of coffee, Big Gulps and oversized drinks. I usually slide the passenger seat forward about 2/3 of the way and shove the cup in the gap between the E-brake and the passenger seat. This works remarkably well. I'm considering upgrading to something like this:


I'm not sure quite where to put it, maybe next to my right leg against the console, but it's worth a thought. Besides the over-the-top console replacement and PVC ideas, has anyone had luck with other alternative cup holders?

 

no picture but i bought a 99 cent holder from Autozone and screwed it to my floor (behind the 5spd). Cheap. Already kinda broken but if you take the little spring holders in it out it fits a soda can with a foam cooler. =)

 

haha. I use my dash mounted cupholder in my 97 4runner as a cell phone holder now because the intended use of that design SUX. I use the one behind the center console more...which is a drag

 

I bought this little $4 thing at Advance called a "Wedgie." It's two cupholders in a piece of formed plastic that wedges between the console and the seat. It's a pain when people are climbing into the back, but otherwise its great. If it gets in the way, I can just throw it in the back.

 

It's all about the hands-free cupholder!

 

i think you would get pulled over with the beer helmet...

i use the ones on the back of the center console, or just hold on to it (especially when on the freeway, one hand on the wheel, the other wrapped around a can)

im still looking into building my center console once i figure out this ebrake thing.

 

Switch the center console to a late model one with the round cupholder. Problem solved.

 

try this one
$2 at walmart

That looks great, but I've got the 4WD shifter to contend with.

 

You need to mount one of these


...in your truck

 

Well you can always cut more plastic out to fit yours. for the money its worth tryin.

 

There is no room, in ANY truck, to mount one of those bad boys.

 

 

I had a couple of cupholders from ultimatecupholders.com back when I had my 540. The guy only makes them for BMWs and P-cars right now but if we gathered enough interest I'm sure he'd design one for 4Runners. Not sure if yota owners would be willing to pay $25 for a cupholder though.

 

beat me too it!!!! damn white trash...


anyway back on topic, how about one of the door ones?
