April 20, 200619 yr Yea. Uh, so have any of you put in cupholders? To my knowledge, there weren't any available? Am I wrong? So post a pic of yours if you got them please!
April 20, 200619 yr he he - they werent available - I just use the area between the E-brake, driver's seat, 4WD lever, and console to hold my drink - and my passengers can figure it all out themselves

That area is never going to quit being sticky.
April 20, 200619 yr i have one in my 86 wagon that is designed for the door but i lifted the shifter boot a little on the passenger side and slid it over the shifter console. i can't seem to get any pics on the forums so if you e-mail me @ 86ruguy@comcast.net i can send them that way.
April 20, 200619 yr i use the area between the seats.. the coin tray.. dang if i dont spill my drink almost everytime im to hard on the go pedal or the stop one.. i'd be interested to see what people have come up with.. pics please rllywgn
April 20, 200619 yr ive had a liberty (legacy for you guys) dual cup holder mounted under the cd player i dont think i have any pics at the mo, but you would just hit it with the shifter when there were drinks in it
April 20, 200619 yr I have a small adjustable one I bought from Shmucks. Have it mounted on top of the coin tray, perfect fit and doesnt get in the way of anything. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. Also have one that has the flexable strap, mounted thru the A/C vent. You have to pull the vent trim out and slip it in the opening. This one isnt that great, it hangs over the radio knobs and if you push the cup, it turns the radio off. But it leaves your hands free!
April 20, 200619 yr My car has one that somebody just screwed right to the center console, and hangs off the passenger side. It works.
April 20, 200619 yr Not a Loyale, but I converted one from a '98 Impreza (found in a wrecking yard) and installed it in my '84 Brat. More pics in my photo album, but here it is:
April 20, 200619 yr My approach is a mix of the above. Step 1: Go to Wal*Mart. Purchase a Spillmaster Euro Junior adjustable mug holder (auto section, about $3.79 and, for the moment, made in America). Go home. Park Loyale. Step 2: Remove the coin tray under the hand brake (push the front edge toward the rear and pull up, it'll pop out. This is also what you have to do to adjust the hand brake). Place the Euro Jr. on the coin tray in the position that you want it - open the mug holder so that you reveal the screw mount hole in the base of the mug holder. Drill a hole in the coin tray in the location that will allow mounting of the Euro onto the tray. Step 3: Go to hardware store and buy a bolt, nut and lock washer of the right length and diameter. Step 4: Mount Euro Jr. to coin tray. Step 5: Install coin tray back in the Loyale. Step 6: Custom adjust your adjustable Euro to your cool coffee mug. Step 7: Enjoy taking those sharp turns with your steaming mug securely nesting in your custom-mounted $3.79 adjustable mug holder. It doesn't get any better than this.

Sounds great...but pictures people pictures!! lol Tyler
April 21, 200619 yr well since all of us are bi-pedal mammals, you have an area known as the crotch, it self adjusts and keeps you warm drinks warm, and freezes the you-know-whats if its a cold drink....aka beer....whoops....i mean pop..... P.S. j/k about the beer
April 21, 200619 yr I think that's how some old lady wound up suing McD's for millions. well since all of us are bi-pedal mammals, you have an area known as the crotch, it self adjusts and keeps you warm drinks warm, and freezes the you-know-whats if its a cold drink....aka beer....whoops....i mean pop.....

April 21, 200619 yr Maybe thats how he got his screen name Ed:eek:I was wondering how I could phrase that. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
April 21, 200619 yr i have one of those double adjustable cup holders mounted on the passenger side of the dash - the flat part....also has a little center compartment for holding stuff like pens, napkins etc. only thing that sucks about the placement is cold drinks tend to get warm pretty quick in the summer time. but it works.
April 21, 200619 yr So far, 17 reply's. 1 picture. Speaking for myself, I'm just a poor slob raising three kids and a non-income producing wife. Sorry. No digital camera. No cell phone. No IPOD.

April 21, 200619 yr Do I detect a bit of sarcasm? Anyways, that sucks, I was really looking forward to seeing yours. I've had this setup for years. No problems. Looks like it belongs there. Good luck. Bill
April 21, 200619 yr Cupholder in my GL-10: I found it in a JY subie, bolted up the the ashtray. I figured I'd give it a try. Its been there ever since. (JY guys didn't even charge for it)

This sounds just like the one I have. I have no complaints about it. I never even noticed drinks getting warm either.
