I don't have an auto, but I could send you a pic of the whole center console area if you want. I'm pretty sure the armrest console things are the same for manual and auto 1st gens. I think that'd be the best place for some cup holders, but that's just me.

I have been working hard at perfecting the cup holder design for the 1st gen. It took longer than expected due to some of my machines craping out at the same time. I had to use the rest of my machines to fill orders and couldn't prototype much. I do have a design that now fits perfectly on the console. The next step is to get it installed in the rig and make sure there are no fitment/interference issues with the shifters, seats, or dash. I hope to get it installed and pics posted in the next couple days. I also need to find the factory gray color. Is gray the only interior console color or is there more? I had tried 3 paints so far but no match yet. I will keep looking. Here is what I have so far.

Subbed. This looks awesome. Could it work on either side for driver and passenger, or only the passenger side?

I have red interior, it would be cool if I could get this to match but not a huge deal. I also have triple shifters, but it doesn't look like that will be an issue

There is red too like AJ said above^

I would totally be cool with straight black if you had too! That thing looks awesome. How stable do you think it will be with a large load? Like a large American Mcdonalds coke???

That is a funky color of red. Probably not going to be able to match that. I'm thinking I will offer two color options. The factory gray (if I can find it) and black. In regards to stability/strength these should have no issue holding a 44oz. fast food cup. There will be 2 strips of 3m adhesive and two screws that will anchor it on. It should be solid. I will be putting it through the paces when I install it this week.

I could mirror it to fit on the driver side but it would be right up against your leg which would be really annoying when pushing the gas peddle. I figured the passenger isn't pushing any pedals so they wont keep bumping into it. The 1st gen is also so narrow that it's not really much of a reach to grab the cup from the passenger side of the console. Your only a couple inches from the cup when your in 5th gear anyways. I have the 80 series double cup holder hanging off the passenger side and the 80 series is WAY wider and I still have zero issues reaching my cups.

Awesome, I am definitely interested in a black holder, and I have a few friends that may be interested. Another common color to consider is brown, I have two friends with brown interior 1st gens.

So there is gray, red, and brown interiors. Anything else? I'm thinking black will be the best option, but I will still try to match the gray as well.

Yep. I picked up a box of black paint for plastic yesterday. I also found a better match to the factory gray. So I will release the 1st gen's in the black and gray option. I had to ship the prototype to the console owner. We just could not get our schedules to match up. I used 1 day shipping so he should have it delivered today. I asked him for pics to verify perfect fitment and zero interference issues with the dash, shifters, and passenger seat. I'm pretty confident everything should fit perfect but I want verification before I post these to my site. I am also still looking for a pic of the automatic console so I can verify if my current design will work or if I need to make changes.

So I heard back from the guy that got the first prototype installed. It had zero interference issues with the 5 speed and 4WD shifter. In 5th gear and 4lo there was plenty of room. The seat lost about an 1" of forward movement but still easily accessable for passengers getting into and out of the back seat. The cup holder did come in contact with the dash but did not create any functional issues. I will move it back about 1/4" of an inch to have zero contact with the dash. I'm actually making that change right now. I will have the final design done by late tomorrow and will get these into production on Monday. I plan to make a decent size batch before I release these to my website. They should be up on my site by this coming Friday evening. I will also start working on the double cup holder for the center console storage compartment late next week or the week following. Here's the pics he sent me. I will have better pics tomorrow.

Looks awesome! Can't wait for this and the double center console one. Nice work!

So I made some minor changes to the design to get fitment perfect. The cup holder now clears the dash, shifters, and leaves almost full range of motion of the seat for passengers climbing into the back. Here are a few mor pics. I have 6 machines printing these right now. I should have a good size batch done by late tomorrow night and will get them up on my website on Wednesday evening.

So I'm still planning to release the first batch tomorrow but still have one concern. I have not seen a pic of an automatic console of a 1st gen. Would REALLY like to see what that console looks like. I want to know if it will work with my cup holder or not. If not, I need to make those changes to account for that. Whoever has an auto and loans me the shifter section of the console will get a free cup holder out of it. At this point, I can only guarantee that they will fit on the 5 speed manual and not automatic.

Edit: Just found this pic. I'm assuming this is a 4Runner? Is the auto the more common option or the manual? I can GUARANTEE my cup holder WILL NOT fit on the automatic console now that I have seen it. My offer still stands. I will still make a cup holder for the auto and whoever loans me the console first, gets a free cup holder out of it.
