Default Cup Holders

I searched throughout the forum for a thread about this and did not find one soo.....Anyone come up with ideas for some cup holders? I know some don't have some including mine but I don't know what year the decided to put them in either, but my idea was getting a center console that had some and replace the one that I have in there now. And I have used the one that hangs off to the passenger side which sucks and falls off and the one that covers the e-brake I just don't like it just seems to get in the way.

97+ XJ's had cupholders in the console. Just swap in the 97-01 console.

May not be that simple. I'm pretty sure the e-brake handle is offset in '97+, and centered in '96 down. Might be easy to move, but I would want to check with someone who has done it to be sure. Just my 2 cents

Yes, it was an OEM add on. PNW Jeeper, your attached image wasn't visible so I added another one here. Oh, and I have 2 of these for sale by the way. $8.00 + shipping, plus a long list of other XJ parts on this thread https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f73/xj...e-sale-161667/

Flared 3" PVC and about 2 min with a hole saw and air saw. Had to lose the rear heat tube for it, but who cares. Best interior mod I've done on any XJ. Fits everything from cans to bottles to those huge flared cups fast food places sometimes have.

The one that screws down over the ebrake sucks. Nothing fits well in it and it makes using the ebrake a total pain in the ***.

One of my buddies friends did it to his jeep I don't know how but he did and it worked for him. And the e-brake cup holder's are useless and aren't deep enough and the drinks tip over.

Yep, e brake has to be moved, or the 97+ e brake handle can be used. Heres a thread I found when I was considering the swap

That's a pretty sharp mod. Have any more pics and/or write up on exactly how you did it? I think a lot of guys would like to copy that, including me.

You need a write up on how to cut a hole?

It looked like there was more to it then that. Like what is that in the circled area of the photo? It kind of looks like threaded metal. Is that what it is; a pre-threaded metal pipe with a PVC fitting for the cup holder? And I kind of wanted to see a picture from the other side. But hey, I'm sure I could figure it out on my own.

No, it's just a piece of PVC.

Default Just did this today

Got these from an 89-95 Taurus. Had to do some cutting in the dash and remove the vent. The downside is I no longer have use of any dash vents and the heat only works out of the defroster and the floor simultaneously. I didn't care about losing the vents since my XJ didn't come with AC and we'll see how the heat works on the next cold morning.
