1. If you have driven your jeep in the summer months, at some point you wish your vehicle had some sort of cup holder for your drive. I tried a number of ideas, but this one was so simple and inexpensive I like it the best. The goal is to have a temporary solution and only with your windshield in the upright position, so that I can remove the cup holder when jeep is on display. At Walmart you can find these cup holders 5 for $2.99. |
|
2. We are going to take one of these cup holders and snap off the back holder used for a window. |
|
3. (Optional) You can put some felt on the bottom of this cup holder if you choose, but really not needed. This is a simple tape solution if you desired to have it there. |
|
4. Next, fold your Windshield up a bit and fit the cup holder under the windshield, and lock back on. The pressure will hold the cup holder in place. Simple, Easy, Cheap and have extras if I lose it. |
|
5. Here you see the cupholder is secure under the windshield and in a convenient place to reach while driving |
|
6. The cupholder can fit a very large cup under the rifle rack as well. What is nice about this solution is can hold a large drink, it is easily reached when in the vehicle, and it is removable when your jeep is at a show or parade. |
