Seems like such a small thing, but the wife would like someplace to set her drink and I'm happy to oblige. Figured somebody might have a good idea. Thanks.   David Morin (Sporin) Member Username: Sporin Post Number: 99 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2003 - 01:24 pm:    ahhh... I think I've found the answer... http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_2500&L2=L2_2530&SKU=77830 (found in the Disco section)   David Woo (Davidwoo) Member Username: Davidwoo Post Number: 75 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2003 - 04:12 pm:    I used a dual cup holder from Tuffy. I was putting one of their cubby boxes into the series truck, and got an extra cup holder. I screwed it to the backside of the RRC cubby, lowered it a bit so the lid would not crash into the cups. Painted it a dark brown, looks stock.

It worked out pretty well. You just have to go to the hardware store and get longer screws. Also it obvioulsy doesn't sit flush to the console but I haven't had any problems yet. -Ash   David Morin (Sporin) Member Username: Sporin Post Number: 100 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 08:50 am:    Thanks all. I don't want to loose too much width along the trans tunnel so I think a folding one is my best bet. the Disco ones will be banging my leg all the time I suspect. Thanks for all the info!   A.

Works out well for everyone but the driver due to the left knee wanting to lean on the drinks! They foldup out of the way nicely. If you do install these types of cup holders, cycle the front seats as far forward as possible to make sure you have clearance.

I am 6 1 and I never hit my knee on them. I put mine in straight though the picture above shows them leaning. That drove me crazy, so I used some plastic shimms to straighten it out. It also makes a great cell phone holder, coin tray, and everything else. They will hold a small can or a larger coffee mug. Just my opinion I am glad I spent the $70.
