Cup holders

[Jesus Freak]

This little digression on spills helps us to understand the importance of cupholders.

Yes, it's very important that we consider our cupholders. One way to gauge their importance is to observe the longevity of this thread. Another way is to realize that someone, according to @Danielle , has taken it upon themselves to "3D print" cupholders........yes, these are the times we live in....

we need to develop "hood holders" for the welders out there with mobile rigs?

I was thinking the same thing...start out with a plastic crate and a ratchet strap and improvise from there...roof holders...

It’s also a welcome distraction from the times we live in.

I’m seriously considering those inserts that were shown earlier in the thread, though. The molded cup holders on the 80s era center console never seem to hold anything properly.

Does this mean we need to develop "hood holders" for the welders out there with mobile rigs? Special oversized hangars in the cab?

Rear window gun rack works good. Buy 1 rack and you get a hat/ helmet rack for 2 trucks.

Backglass gun racks sure are a novelty these days.

So in the 80s when I was a kid we went on a lot of job sites with my dad in his cargo Econoline van.

Our seats were milk crates held down by those black rubber bungee cords (you know, the ones that snap when they're dry rotted and leave you with a bleeding bruise that lasts for MONTHS! haha)

We had a bread truck as a family truck for a while that had lawn chairs bungeed to the walls for a while also hahaha

And to think my kids' car seats were checked by the state police for proper install. (I don't mind that, for the record)

I built a shelf on top of my truck's headache rack that extends over the roof of the cab. I then welded mounts and brackets to it and bolted a small (ranger) truck toolbox to it to hold all my gear, chainsaw, chaps, maul, parts, tools, etc etc. Works pretty good but it would be alot of weight for a standard pickup bed.
