Add more Cup holders!

[relyt120]

So I recently installed power windows and locks in my 89 Pioneer. Having removed the window crank I had a nice sized hole in the door panel looking ugly so I decided to make use of them!

So I got to thinking...what does my truck need :hmm: , :eek: of course!-CUP HOLDERS!!

It's really great to have somewhere to put my drinks now so I'll share this with you all! 8)

 

Difficulty: Novice/really easy

 

Here's what you need(per cupholder):

A drill

Drill bit

3 bolts(2 short 1 longer)

4 nuts

some scrap metal, thinner is easier

socket wrench to fit your nuts

marker

*tin snips (i used these to cut the scrap metal, you might not need)

Cup holder<---- link

 

Steps:

 

Remove door panel.

 

 

Cut your scrap metal to the appropriate size.

 

 

place into the door and mark where the holes are.

 

 

drill out the holes

 

 

temporarily bolt the bracket in, mark the circle

 

 

drill hole in center

 

 

bolt bracket into the door, use short enough bolts to be able to get your wrench in there for full tightening(I used bolts from the Cherokee I got my Driver's fender from)

 

 

place longer bolt through center hold with threads going out of the door, attach nut to hold it in

 

 

re-install door panel

 

 

drill hole in back of cup holder the size of your center bolt

 

screw cup holder onto center bolt, enough to allow the final nut to go on

 

 

secure with final bolt

 

 

ENJOY. :thumbsup:

Good idea. :cheers: The black window/lock switch panel came from a 95-96 XJ, si? I like that better than the chrome/black older panels I used.

You are correct, truthfully I am going to remove it since I have moved the switches to the dash where the clock should go.

I used those same cup holders but with the new style plastic door panels.
