Default Ultimate cup holder

I have one of those Jeep brand cup holders my wife got me for a birthday present probably 10 years ago. It worked, but was designed for the parking brake area in front of the console box. I couldn't really use the parking brake which was not the best since I had a 5 speed at the time. I later cut the bottom off it and put it on the side, like some factory versions. However, only one drawback remained. It would only hold small pop cans or the Xlarge fountain drinks. New container sizes have come out since then. So I got to thinking I just needed some extensions. So I clipped and rolled some aluminum and came up with this.

I realize that most of you cannot do what I have tools for. But you can make a similar thing with 3" ABS or PVC pipe for the small side and the fitting for the large side. Then you can glue everything together

My OEM cup holder does the same thing. Cool.

I have adjustable cup holders from Canadian Tire that I cut the center from and glued them in front of the ebrake. Hold everything from a XL down to a S Timmies coffee and everything inbetween.
