Default $6 cup holders

i came up with this idea in my boat then found these cup holders at walmart for just over $3 a peice. took a hole saw and drilled al the way through it and slid em in. i drilled it a little small so it doesnt fall out when open. next i will try again with a salvage yard arm rest and try not to scuff it. still i like the way it turned out.

thes mod is realy cool and functional i am going to do this but i'm changing it up by the looks of the cup holders you used they have drain holes in the bottom of them i found some with a nipple on the botom you can atack a hose to to let the sweat off the drinks drain out botom of jeep instead of in the console pocket like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/White...Q5fAccessories
