Pete M Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 can someone with full console and rear carpet wall get a measurement from the back of the console to the wall? I'm curious to see if Dakota's cupholder will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I don't have a rear facing one on hand at the moment but will be making one as soon as a printer finishes so I can get a measurement of the cupholder. I believe it is just shy of 6-1/2" but don't know for sure, I should have an answer tomorrow night or Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Got it done and measured, it actually only hangs 5" beyond the console lid so it will fit just fine in the MJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, chances are it probably will. Course right now Chunk is in pieces still so I’m no where near adding cupholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply lift the cupholder piece out, the mount is short enough that it is out of the way of the seat folding down so that can stay mounted.

JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Peanut gallery comment incoming. Does the rear seat even have springs in the center; how often is there a butt using it? Would cutting a cup-holder sized whole be practical? I know these Q's are odd, but this particular peanut has a 2dr xj with rear seat removed so have I two perfect factory cupholders that never see any use besides an ocasional washer/bolt/nut ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foam should be thick enough though you could cut holes out and at least partially recess cupholders into the foam. At that point though would it make more sense to fab mounts for bucket seats and just build a console to go between them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, a well thought out design. 5 hours ago, JeepSchmidt O'Guinness said: Peanut gallery comment incoming.

So it is designed to have someone sit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
