Got my cup holder today (new pictures)

[Jasen]

Still need to test drive it before I can write a review. That was wrong of me to post that crappy cell phone pic.
Apologies Eric.
I grabbed the point and shoot and took some better pics.

Has a nice tight swirled scotchbrite type finish.

[Mr_Bowtie]

Sweet.........you gonna start mass producing those for us?

[Jasen]

eric2802000 made it. He sent them out to 3 lucky A/S members for field testing.

[Mr_Bowtie]

Ahhhh. Must have missed that along the way.

Most of my coffee mugs fit nice with no tipping. I've given it a pretty good work out. I wouldn't mind making the holes a little bit bigger then lining them with silicone tubing.

I took a 20oz Mnt. Dew for a test drive today. Typically, as you all know, if you pull away from a stop, forward and worse making a turn, your drink will at least tilt if not just fly out and hit the floor. Well I goosed it hard enough making a right from the stop light for the AWD to transfer power to the front wheels and the Dew not only stayed put but fully upright.
It has a nice swirly brushed type finish to hide finger prints and it fit's nicely.

Eric requested that, we three that were graced with being field testers for the cup holder, send him our feed back. These are prototypes and I have sent Eric my thought's for some minor tweaking.

Thats a good idea. Jason is probably reproducing them out of wood and selling them on ebay.

[AstroWill]

I have seen something almost exactly like that, now if I could just remember where it was.

EPN Automotive and Eric are one and the same.

These are like chain letters, you have to now mail out ten copies to your friends

[redfury]

Beats my cupholder, except my design is adjustable, but it gets in the way of the change tray/ashtray and probably won't hold up to abuse nearly as well as this design.

Very nice, but will it hold a "Super Big Gulp"?

What about conversion vans didn't they have like a wooden piece kind of like that. I could have swore my uncle's old '95 Conversion Van had something like that made out of wood.


The price is a little more then I thought it would be. But, I am a cheap azz!

you have to bolt this cup holder to the floor in the back

Yup, lots of the conversion vans had some level of wood trim in them, and the certainly didn't forget about the cupholders up front. Hence the muse for my modified design in my van.

[Jasen]

They did the 'ol 70's water bed 2x6 frame style cup holders in the conversions

But now you can't use the little spots beside the cupholders for your coffee change or bluetooth piece!

Don't you guys have the rubber inserts?

[Jasen]

The rubber inserts are almost as rare as an honest politician. Eric's off to a good start on these, he has some planned tweaking. I mentioned a slot for all y'all coffee drinkers coffee cups. Wait a minute, what little spots? I don't have any little spots in my van, just 2 big sloppy holes to help spill my drink on the floor.
I toss my change in there, smokes, cell phone. It lifts out to get at your change.

I would like another design that could hold my 40 of Old E, my thighs get cold

I got this big console thingy from Wal-Mart that goes in between the front seats. I like it. Holds those big gas station foam cups quite well. I don't like the location of the factory cupholders. Drinks block the radio! I do have those rare rubber inserts people always look for but they mostly just hold change

That's what I got they are awsome. Console doubles as a garbage and it holds alot. Cupholder, change holder and van don't have paper strewn everywhere. no negative to it.
