Early SD Cup thrower mod
So any of us that have the old style cup holder know the only thing you can put in them is a short fat cup like a small DQ Blizzard. Anything else goes flying when you make a turn.
Yes for $80 you can get the later model cup holder.
I have other cup holders in the truck and have to prioritize were I spend my money on hobbies- hunting, fishing, boats, truck, etc, etc.
Got tired of the cup thrower sitting in the truck as a useless decoration and decided to try something.
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but haven't seen it written up anywhere so figured I would.
I took a dremel with cutting and sanding wheel and cut the bottoms out of both sides.
With the larger cups being so popular these days it works great. Yeti and Yeti knock off 30 oz tumblers with and without handles fit fine. The 20 oz tumbler fits fine. Haven't tried it yet but will bet the large convenience store soda cups will fit fine.
Cans and water bottles won't work as they will fall right through but I could't put them in it anyway without having to clean up after making a turn.
Hope this helps someone.
