Cup Holder.

Has anyone added a cup holder?
If so how about some pictures.
I don't like it when the cup is between my legs and hot coffee comes out of the vent.

im awful proud of mine. here's how she goes

one spill master adjustable dual cup holder
one piece of plywood like wood ( roughly the width of the cupholder by about a foot)
two zip ties and a drill

put the cupholder on the end, drill holes, zip tie her down and WALA!
you can put it on the floor under the seat, or if you have a newer seat, under the folding console. i go under the seat. i also have a custom frame for my 94 seat, so it fits snug in there.
i highly recomend this cause its sturdy and can be easily removed

I like the duct tape idea, BUT

I've been thinking about a proper console for the middle of my bench seat. Ideally I would want one that the center seat belt passes through and with a cover I could rest my elbow on.

right now an old cardboard paint box sits in the middle with all of my gear in it

if I re-arrange the contents correctly, I can nestle a hot drink in there, but once I take it out for a sip I can never get it back in securely

my daughter calls my current arrangement the "hobo box"

I have some links to these store-bought consoles on my work puter

can't remember the names right now but they go for $70 or so

boy you're smart... but i shoved a thick roll of duct tape under the seat right behind the shifter. chrome or camouflage tape works the best FYI

I use one of those consoles that sit on the bench seat. It works great. It was a little low for my liking as an arm rest so I stuck so 3" foam under it now its at a good height. Seat belt keeps it in place.

Before I got that I just put it on the dash above the instruments. The angle of the dash and the glass keep the coffee from spilling and unless your really taking a corner hard it doesn't slide off

I don't remember exactly. I bought it at my local canadian tire. It was around $70.
It has 2 cup holders a slot the I used for holding pens and a little flashlight. Infront of the cup holders is change holders. Then behind all that is a storage area with a padded lid.

Got this out of an International medium duty truck. If you're not afraid of cutting a hole in your dash, it's great.
