Ya im making it for the front. Since my jeep is 2wd i dont have a 4wd shifter im thinking about putting it right there. It will basically just be a square box of steel diamond plate with 3in exhaust in it to hold the cups. I would go to ebay but i like being differnt and also i have nothing to do in my welding shop tommrrow so i figured id make cup holders.
