I am thinking of getting that cup holder since I quit smoking years back. Does anyone here have one and if so do you like it?

pull the ashtray part and create a dock for several 12v power supplies, a usb and port for the ipod?
i use mine to hold the bezel from my dual tank switch

bitchin85 · 10-27-2010, 10:38 PM

i put a piece of aluminum over mine and put my for light, strobe light, and elec fan switches in there..

bigwheel15 · 10-27-2010, 10:44 PM

I use mine to hold the "extra" screws/bolts/nuts after I finish working on the truck.

im going to modify my ash try and stick a kenwood 5 band eq in it, a reverb and a slot for my ipod have it all measured out going to be nice.

lilpoindexter · 10-28-2010, 01:49 AM

My truck never had a lighter, just a body color plug...the ash try was full of smelly cig butts, but oddly enough, the interior doesn't stink like an ashtray

1986swb · 10-28-2010, 03:38 AM

I bought the black cup holder insert from LMC and use it to hold my GPS and iPod.

*78 Chevyrado* · 10-28-2010, 08:28 AM

I use mine for a change holder and phone charger.

I used to have an Air-fuel mix gauge in there. i didnt have to attatch it, it just set right in the hole and stayed there for years. I put the gauge in there because I got tired of having to look at the flashing LEDS all the time, so in the ashtray i was able to cloe it when i didnt wanna look at it.

menace121978 · 10-28-2010, 08:59 AM

you could always just leave it alone and take up smoking... the "cool" people are still doing it

but seriously... i like the cup holder idea. that is a necessity for me

**N2TRUX** · 10-28-2010, 09:49 AM

A control panel for your Air Ride will fit just fine.

69subaru360 · 10-28-2010, 09:53 AM

I put my trailer brake controller in there. I close it when not towing for a cleaner look.
