So I'm working on the double cup design for the 4x4 auto right now and need some help. I need a top view of the console and a profile side view of the console from the passenger side looking towards the drive side. There are a couple dimensions I'm needing and I can just add my notes of where I need dimensions from if I have those to pics to draw on.
2nd Gen Cup Holders

Alright Socal guys. I need access to a 4X4 auto. I have a prototype that just came off the machine. It fits on the center console piece I have BUT I don't know how it will fit up against the plastic shifter housing that has the P-N-D-etc. I want to make sure it clears that plastic hump. Anyone in the IE that would give me 5 minutes with their 2nd Gen?

Can't help with the auto but just went to your page and don't see the manual ones there. I'll buy one when they are.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I have the manual double and the 2WD auto double done and in stock but not on my website. I want to have the 4WD auto done and available when I release them. I have a prototype in my hands and ready to test fit but just need the 4Runner to test fit on.

Thanks for the reply. My console is a gray color. It looks like your 1 st photo of 2 different consoles.
Also I sent a photo to your e-mail, titled: 2nd gen console color.
Thanks for making a product for over 20 yr old vehicle.

I'm at the point where I'm almost ready to beg. I BADLY need access to a 4WD auto 2nd Gen in Socal. Somebody has to be somewhat local to me with one. I have a prototype done and ready for install. I can't move and make and the final fitment changes until I get it fitted.

I have a customer up here in Napa/BayArea with a 4x4 auto but I don't know if you'd ship it and how useful I'd be for final fitment... And that's a long drive for you just to test fit. If that's an option I'm willing to help.
Other idea would be to head to a pick n pull. The Row 52 App shows when cars arrive and if you can find a fresh, unmolested interior that could work. Just talk to them about your project and they should let you bring in a cupholder. Most guys here are rather laid back. (It's a f*ckin junkyard for goodness sake).
Good luck and we're all excited for you progress.

Wow. Sorry your having such a hard time trying to find an auto console. I think there is one in the junkyard by my work. If you still need it on Monday I could probably swing by.
If anyone is thinking about sending bhicks a console and worrying about not getting it back, I can say my dealings with him have been superb! Great quality products (that I love!) and great service. I can't recommend this guy or his products enough.

I have the console. It's the vehicle I need now. The shifter assembly is mounted to a black plastic hump thing. When you remove the console that hump stays with the shifter. My cup holder design wraps around that hump. I need the actual vehicle to make sure it wraps correctly. Right now my design fits perfectly on the console and clears the shifter. It's now just the aesthetics of wrapping around that shifter hump without any weird gaps.
The 4WD manual and 2WD auto or done. I just wont release those on my website until I have the 4WD auto all done. I met up with a local that had a 4WD auto today and took a ton of measurements and test fitted my current prototype. I have quite a few changes that are still needed. I will make those changes tomorrow and test fit again on Tuesday. Hopefully by Friday I will have it all dialed in.

how big can these cup holders go up to? I see a powerade in one pic. I wonder if it'll hold the bigger gatorade bottles. If they come in black though I'll definitely will be in for a manual one
With the black insert removed, you can put a Nalgene bottle in there. that was one of the largest diameter drink containers I could find. The inside diameter of the larger hole is 3.75". Measure the large Gatorade bottle and you will have your answer.

So I was trying to wrap up the double cup holder design for the 4x4 automatic console and came across some conflicting imagery. I need some help here. I'm seeing two different consoles for the 4x4 automatic for the 2nd Gen 4Runner. What years are the two consoles below from? I have been working off of the 1st one but realized there may be two versions I need.
We have a right hand drive KZN130W which has the same console as the bottom picture.
So the local 2nd gen 4WD Auto I used to test fit the last couple prototypes is now gone. After hearing me talk about his 4runner and what they are going for he decided to test the waters on craigslist and sold it over the weekend. I now am AGAIN on the hunt for a 4WD auto 2nd Gen in Socal. I will be going through OC out to Huntington Beach on Wednesday. Will also be out in Chino Hills and Ontario this week. Will also be in Mentone, Redlands, Yucaipa, Big Bear, Forest Falls, Highland, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, and San Bernardino regularly. Any near any of those areas?

I'm in Big Bear but unfortunately both me and my buddy are manuals :/
I'd be happy to buy one from you when you come over though :bounce:

Would you be open to me finding the console and plastic hump pieces at a wrecking yard and shipping it? Or does it absolutely need to be installed in the vehicle? Got a yard nearby with some prospective vehicles equipped accordingly
