Does anyone know of a good cup holder upgrade for the 94-97 rams.
I am sick of holding my drink around every corner.

I've decided to build a center console with cup holders. Here is the beginning. I've got some 6.5" mid bass speakers and an amp coming to install in the bottom and some black carpet to cover it. The top will be foam pad wrapped in black Naugahyde. Going to add some switches for lights and interior winch controls mount my cb in it etc...

with those molded cup holders make sure to adjust the latch mechanism so it will latch properly

Here's a crappy pic of the test fit. Before the speakers. The speakers are on the sides up front and the amp is in the bottom with a fused power block to feed all the accessories. Will have a tray in the top covered with kydex that lifts out for more storage above the amp

You probably know this but a heat gun on low used right will help you get that carpet to roll very nice, just don't melt it lol.

Nice work Sir!

So, I've got it in the truck and just finished up wiring the switches and installing the monitor and backup cam. Should have the foam for the arm rest soon. And going to build the upper tray and put in the kydex after I cover the top.
