Topic: cup holders

[Skinny_Pedal]

ok since toyota's didn't come with cupholders before 89. anyone have any pics or ideas of where to put a cup holder?

[Skinny_Pedal [OP]]

does it not bother anyone having to hold there drink in the hand or lap and shift and steer. its gets annoying after awhile.

I dig those aluminum race style ones that swivel, u can bolt them on just about anywhere. I tried searching the net and couldn't find them but I know they are out there.

You know its not actually a cup holder (of course), but when Im traveling in Marlin's 80, I can stash a 32oz or larger cup to the left of me, between the seat and the door. He has bench seats and his seat is narrow at the back and then get wider as they move out. So I've found that, for instance, large Taco-Smell cups fit perfectly in that narrow area and up against the door. Just remember to hold the cup when you open the door.

As for cup holders, You could always go with the old fashion Jeep/Landcruiser aftermarket cup holders... I used to see them out on the trail because the dash on a LC is flat and its easy to mount.. hang on let me find a pic....


Ok, here's a modern example of this style:


In fact, check out that page where I found that pic, its here: Gadget and Attaching Components

Maybe you could rig something up

Well it's prbably screwed or glued to that dash and as for those race cup holders that move around, Those are actually a boating praduct so you might want to look in that direction

LOL you think racers need a cupholder?

Those are for boats..

[brainlessfool]

why not just get one of those hats that has two holders in it with a straw that comes down to ya mouth?   

[SWAMPER]

...Thats something WT would use    ...You could just buy some cup holders they have at AUTOZONE and mountthem anywhere

[Brandon]

I got a center console I made with cupholders, works fine but I want a bench seat..

you can kinda see it here, got a pair of gloves in the cup holders though..

[brainlessfool]

I got a slit bench in my 83 with an arm rest with cup holders in it. it was something I fond on the net. cost like $400 and has a lumbar saport in it to 

[81Toy4x]

That's a lot of money.  I am also looking for some way to hold cups.  I have spilled three slurpees and numerous fast food cups filled with pop. 

[81Toy4x]

Oh wait a minute, my Corbeaus were $450 for the two seats, brackets, and slider bases.  So I guess you did pretty good figuring you actually have cup-holders, and an arm rest. 

[brainlessfool]

T think so, just wish I still have the name of the place I got it from. just fond'um on the net.it's a slit back bench ,looks like buckit seat from the outside with a arm  rest inbetween

[SWAMPER]

LilSwamper has dual cup holders, but darn things were just made for cans or so...the Route 44 cups from Sonic wont go all the way down. 

[Skinny_Pedal [OP]]

i think brainless has the idea with the hat, i may try that!. ill go swipe a cup holder off my bike and c what i can do

[brainlessfool]

     use your brain and see what you can make  (wish I had a brain)

[SWAMPER]

     You do...just very small 

[Skinny_Pedal [OP]]

and thats all that matters

[yotaboy79]

i use a role of ductape jbwelded to the dash

[SWAMPER]

 

[CGuava]

i use a slot inbetween my second t-case shifter and the center console.  So it sits on the driver's side of the rear shifter.  it's hard to explain but i guess you would need dual tcases and bucket seats for it to work.  It's just another excuse to give marlin a call!
