My cup holders came from Target, Stainless steel salt/pepper/cheese shakers with the tops removed. Held in place with round pads of Velcro that came off the back of those little round puck stickup light.

This one came from my boat, mounted upside down. It's for the big stuff. I know, still dusty from my last off road trip. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and these,
they came out of a 1999 Plymouth Voyager. Same spacing as the Monty's seat frame, but just a bit longer. They are so nice, arm rest and comfortable. When I find a brown set these will go to the Offroader if he wants them.

Joe,
One mod you might want to take care of before wondering out in back of beyond in the desert is to -trade that Gen 2 A.C. fan you got Saturday back to Roger's yard and get that excellent Toyota fan and adapt it to your Gen 1....

We so need a sticky of OEM parts that practically bolt in to a Monty/Raider as well as not-so-difficult custom stuff. Those seats look like a comfy mod as well as other people who have done stuff like LED dome lights, rear door light switches, custom mounted inverters, etc.

My fat arse loves 'em. I've got the exact same seats, but out of a '97 Caravan. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

2 way sticky tape and one of those oversized adjustable drink holders that are designed to go into those tina a$$d little drink holders. cut off the bottom and tape it down... works for me. btw, gotta mount it in the only available spot right on that flatish spot on the left of the shifter.

Sorry about the delay in posting up pics. I've been busy w/ xmas and all.

It's a Spillmaster (purchased at walmart) cup console w cd holder. There are 2 cup holders and a section for CD's (or whatever you want to put in there).

I cut a section off the lower part in the rear that matches the floor's contour and mounted the unit on the tunnel just behind the center glove box.

It can hold 2 cups of varied sizes nicely & a bunch of CD's. It comes in a medium gray, black and tan. It will only cost a few dollars at your local pep boys, or Walmart.

Sorry about the lousy pic but my rear seat is currently folded up so I could only take the shot above from the floor level in the rear footwell area. This is the view of it from the passenger side rear footwell.

Updated Pics
Here are a couple more pics.

I used a flat tipped soldering iron to melt/cut the excess plastic away so that it would fit the contour of the rear footwell area especially since my 2 door doesn't have a 3 row rear seat (no center belt). In this picture you can see the carpet where the plastic should have been in the CD tray along with a bead of melted plastic I didn't bother trimming off and cleaning up...

Here's a pic like the first one but from the driver side.
