Big Ugly has joined the 90's...cupholders

[AJMBLAZER]

Not bad for about $28. LMC used to sell something like this but apparently not anymore. I got mine from a West Marine boating store. $9.99 each plus tax. They had a very similar one that was about $6 each but none of the colors were correct (grey, tan, white, etc).
They come with small 3/4" long screws but I wanted something a bit more secure. So I spent $6 and change at the local Ace for twelve stainless steel 1" long #8-20 sheetmetal screws and their associated nuts and washers.

I just drilled six holes through the dash pad on each side and mounted it up with washers to spread the force out. I figure since there is sheet metal in there I'm good. Dunno if I'd put a 130oz Big Gulp in it but any fast food cup, 20oz bottle, or 12oz can should be just fine in these.

I've installed about 50 of those in white on boats, didn't even know they came in black...

Do the military trucks not come with center consoles? oh wait, its a bench, huh.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Yep, and the M1009 Blazers don't have a center console either. Just empty space.


ryoken, I think you're the one who clued me into these being available at boat places. Year or two ago.

...yes, I move that slowly...

They have 4 liter big gulps now?! Jesus.

Where did you get those holders though they look good.

West Marine. Chain boat supply store. Being in Jersey I'm sure you have them or a bunch like them. If I recall correctly Pt Pleasant is right on the water.

I was making up numbers on the Big Gulp...but only because I don't know what size the gimundic 711 thing was an old coworker of mine used to come in with every morning. Guy was sipping on it constantly from 7am till lunch.
Definitely wouldn't fit in this thing.
