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. |

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.
