New Cup Holder in Shifter Plate


Recommended Posts

Got tired of the useless Ikea soap dish I put in my console shifter hole a few years ago...........

 

 

.......so fabbed a new cover plate and put in a real cup holder.

 

 

It holds a beer can well too.   :yes:

Trust me, as the owner of two, the factory cupholder only counts as maybe a quarter of a cupholder... it sucks. Especially on the 89, because when I shift I sometimes knock the bottle/can out of it (happens less often on the 91 too unless I'm careful). I haven't tried the one that mounts on the passenger's side of the console. Maybe it's better? I would do what Don has done here, but both trucks have a shifter in that spot now.

 

Don, is that an OEM carpet? It looks a lot different than mine.

Ahhhh I see, I just thought Don might have a problem.... I don't have any cup holders in my bench seated Comanche yet, still have to figure that out.

Passengers tend to bump their knee into that one and you have to reach over to get your drink.

 

BTW those moccasin slippers look warm and comfortable Don.

How many drinks do you have going at one time??? I count 3 cup holders so far....

 

The one in the rear first pic is gone. It took up too much console storage space.

Yes, that's my original carpet.

and the "camo" pajama pants! I always seem to be wearing my "round the house" clothes when I decide to post an image of something I've done to the Manche :D
