JL Non-Rubicon Cupholder

[crushinit]

This is great. Thank you all. Wife was driving me nuts wondering why there was no cup holders there, especially since she sits in the middle with a kid on either side of her lol.

Followup: got it today and installed in about 30 minutes. Those two screws underneath were a pain, definitely need to prop the console up and use a headlight to guide the driver in/out.

Wow, you guys suck. Now I have to go spend $50.
What's really funny is that I didn't even know there was an arm rest in rear seat that folded down. I though I had to fold the seat flat for a cup holder there. Wow. I'm just going to remove my head restraint and call it good. Nobody sits in the middle seat of my Jeep anyway, so I'll just set it off to the side somewhere. Probably the first piece to start a pile of stock parts, which will be joined by that stupid tray. I get that they had to remove the cup holder, but they could have made the pockets on the tray a little deeper so it wasn't completely useless.

Yea, the Jeep Fairy came yesterday. I've got a fancy new cup holder sitting on my desk right now. Time to go install it. You all suck for making me spend money I wasn't planning on spending, but you all rock for making me aware of an item I will actually use quite a bit.

Well I installed my cup holder yesterday. It took about 15 minutes to do. As previously mentioned by others, the two bottom bolts are a inconvenient to get in/out, but it's not that bad. If you can turn a wrench and screw driver you can do this mod.

I took a few photos. With the original tray in place and the head restraint on there's obviously clearance.
With the cup holder installed, and the head restraint on there is definitely contact. It's enough that I wouldn't load up anything to heavy. There is a very simple solution though. Just remove the head restraint. You can either leave it off like I plan to do, or take it off if your load will put weight on the folded flat floor. With the cup holder installed and head restraint on, there's no interference at all, so no issues. Plus, you can still use your cup holder this way.

I may have missed it but where can I order this cup holder part? Can someone share a link?

i got it on ebay

Ebay seems to be the easiest place to get a good price. Otherwise shop around dealerships for the best price. It can be bought for about $40+ shipping, so it depends on your proximity to the dealership which will be the cheapest for you.
The part number you're looking for is 6BN67TX7AC.

Thank you, followed your directions, pictures where great, kids now have cup holders

Wondering if anyone has the part number for the cup holders that come in the non-rubicon models; I can find it. The Rubicon comes with worthless plates and I keep spilling my Bourbon on my seats, would rather have it go on the floor. In all honesty, I scratch my head every time I see the worthless plates on the floor in the rear, would rather make it functional.

Just do two pours instead of one?

That's why I drive with this.

Wonder if they make matchine ones too all body colours

I'm sure we could custom order some.

I've a Sport S. One thing I do not like about it is that the passengers do not have the 12V outlet and USB connections. It's actually been bugging me, as I've kids that are always bugging me about charging their phones. I'm close to buying a Harbor Freight inverter that has USB charging ports.

Was wondering if the harness inside the console has the connections. If so, I could order an upper trim panel that has the outlet and USB connector cut-outs.

I guess I'll be pulling mine apart soon, just to get a look at what's under there.

I'm going to assume, since my Sahara has ports for the back passengers, the wiring is probably already there in the Sport. You likely just need to buy the panel with them, and the pigtail to connect to the wires. I have no way to verify that, but it's a pretty good guess, based on similar items from Ram trucks I've done and assisted with. If it's the same way on Jeep, they all have the same wiring harness through the body so the plug ends are in there unused on models that don't come with a certain option.
Just a guess though, but I'd say you've got a shot at making that work out.

Thank you so much for this post. Just installed it in a snap. Would have been a real pain figuring it out on my own.
