jja Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Anyone ever install a cup holder in their car? I'm looking for one that can be installed over the hump in the floor just in front of the bench seat. I don't need it to have a storage compartment, just to hold a few bottles or coffee cups. JA Quote
Dtret Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 They make aftermarket one but get it with the little fingers so it sticks to the carpet. 1 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 How many bottles or cups do you need 😅 some company makes an insert to go in ash tray for a cup holder but not sure who, another member had one a while back. I've got just a little cheapie that sits in front of thd seat on the hump. It works ok until I fine what I'd really like. Holds 2 cups and has a little square compartment to keep stuff in, it works.

kpcsgasp Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I got this from OPGI. it fits in your ash tray when you take out the insert. the only draw back is it only fits small items like bottled water. (which is all I allow in the car anyway). 3 Quote

(which is all I allow in the car anyway). That would make sense, because 2 64oz. Big Gulps probably weigh in at over 8lbs. Not sure the ash tray could handle that. 1 Quote
cbolt Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I had to modify my ashtray to make it strong enough to hold my modified cup holder. I took the holder pictured above, which is called a "plug n chug", ordered larger inserts from a casino supply site large enough to hold a Yeti. Then I used the existing part that fits into the ashtray and made the whole cupholder larger. As for the ashtray I installed a small bolt and locknut on each side to serve as a way to keep the ashtray from falling all the way down. I have pics somewhere of those mods and can post them later if anyone is interested. I know, a lot of work for a cupholder but when you spend 2 days on the road its nice to have a drink handy. 5 Quote

Ooops I mean soda or water, I'd never have an open container while driving at least not since I was young and foolish 😅 now I'm old and foolish. There I beat you guys to saying it 🤣 3 3 Quote

If you can find those pics that would be nice. I'd like to hold a bigger bottle of water. Quote

Scott S. Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Does anyone remember the coffee cup "clips" that Mac's stores used to sell ? It was a disc shaped thing that the cup was made to hook into and had two sided tape to stick to the dash. I'm pretty sure Timmy's used to sell them too..... Quote

Simply because I can’t find where I sat one down. 3 1 Quote
Scott S. Posted November 30 Posted November 30 I've been to those type of parties...... One host told me it was the worst case of alcohol abuse he'd ever seen. Such a waste of beer. lol 1 Quote
