here's mine i used a 3-1/2 hole saw but had to trim a little but it has a tight fit.. i'm getting some clear vinyl tubing to attach to the nipple on the bottom drilling a couple of holes in floor of jeep and bottom of console so the moisture off drinks will drain out of jeep

Well damn, that's a great idea! I might have to try it, I've been needing a cup holder solution...now to just find someone with a hole saw.

Wink No cup holders=worst design flaw ever!

I mean what was Jeep thinking ! I thot they must have made them illegal for a few years or something! lol. At least you didn't spill sev dozen coffees on your seats so the int pics look good. Mine isnt so photogenic! nice job! Jeep would have hired you back in 94!

for you guys that purchased these with the nipples, hows it work when you need to open the center consol and you have those tubes connected to your cup holders?
