But now, it's getting close to insane with the amount of emails/requests I'm getting for designing cup holders for the early Gen 3 4Runner. I owned a 91 and 95 4Runner back in the day and HATED that useless pull out cup holder tray that blocked my stereo. I then grabbed a 93 80 series that I built for expedition then grabbed a 97 FZJ 80 for rock crawling. Finally I got myself into an 03 100 series. FINALLY got some cup holders.

I am thinking about putting a single cup holder or possibly a double (if enough space) along the the passenger side of the center console. If there is only enough room for a single cup then I might also add a slot for a phone/wallet with maybe a built in pen and flashlight holder. You can see the same concept with my front double for the 80 series. Please feel free to give suggestions on what you guys want beyond holding drinks.

Also, if someone would ship me their 96-98 center console(section that is up against the dash), I would build them the first cup holder and ship it all back to them for free. I don't need the back half(part thas has ebrake sticking out of it). I have access to that center console but my buddy is a busy guy and finding time that we are both free to prototype it has been a challenge.

Here's a couple shots of my dirty-ass truck. It's a 97 ltd.

I got a feeling it will be an exact match. I will head to the local pick a part next week to find the gray interior and see if my current gray paint is also an exact match.
