Hi fellow Cherokee affictionatos I am new to the site and have been lurking for awhile. I have seen several ideas you guys have had for cup holders and here is my solution to not having cup holders in my 1992 Cherokee Laredo. I on;y got this photo on the post, but have others in my album. Still learing how to do the post and attach pics.

I got a old piece of aluminum diamond plate and used a cardboard template of the console and used an angle grinder to cut it out. I then boleted teh hinge and cup holder on it. This baby will hold (2) 44 oz cups without a problem.

I took a piece of 3" tubing 2" long and capped the bottom. I then took a 2 and 15/16 hole saw drilled down as deep as the hole saw would allow. Took a die grinder for the lateral cut to finish removing the plastic. I then debured the plastic and reinstalled the console. I used a slightly smaller holesaw than the dia. Of tubing to make for a very tight fit.
