Trooper Cup Holder

[Nazrat]

I tried the cup holder from my Trooper in the VX, and it fits just fine. The color is almost exactly the same as the carpet, despite what the photo looks like. Isuzu may even offer one in black, but since I never have anyone in the back seat, and it can't be seen from the front seat, this one will suit me just fine.

To install it, you just remove the ashtray, and screw this cup holder on in its place.

If you are eating fast food, it isn't the most conveinent spot for a cup holder, but I more just want a place to put a bottle of water so that it won't roll around on the floor. It is easily reachable however.

You guys are killing me, now I have to take it out again

I'll try to tonight, (rain is expected) but I was able to order it from St. Charles by just asking for a 98-02 cup holder for the rear seat.

Did they have it in black?

-Tad

[Cyrk]

nope... I think I'll just buy some black matte spray paint and hit it.

Cool! Thanks Tad! For changing the color Eastwoods and other auto-resto places have special paints/dyes for changing automotive plastic trim colors.

[Maugan_VX]

use plastic dye to recolor it. It'll look stock and wont chip, fade, peel or crack.

One update: The arm rest will touch the top of the cup holder, if the cup holder is closed. It stops the arm rest from opening the last 1/2" to 1/4" which for me is just fine, I can leave the cup holder open, or live with the lack of 1/2" of lid opening, but others might object.

I spoke to St. Charles and they do have it in black. I did'nt get the part number, but when it arrives I will post it.

Well, to throw something else out there, here is a pic of the 98+ Rodeo cup holders:

I'm not sure that it would fit without trimming though, and the angle is probably wrong too, but it is an option if someone wants to play.

You guys actually have passengers in the back? or is the idea to reach back for *your* cup?

[Nazrat]

It really isn't much of a reach, and yes it is for me. Her drink goes in the center holder, and mine goes in the back.
