Trooper Cup Holder

[chumone]

You guys actually have passengers in the back? or is the idea to reach back for *your* cup?

[Nazrat]

It really isn't much of a reach, and yes it is for me. Her drink goes in the center holder, and mine goes in the back.

I received the black cup holder and it was the wrong part. I spoke to St. Charles again and they sent me the right part(dark grey only), Sorry about the confusion

If post #1 doesn't answer your question, maybe I just don't understand what you're asking.

I tried the cup holder from my Trooper in the VX, and it fits just fine. The color is almost exactly the same as the carpet, despite what the photo looks like. Isuzu may even offer one in black, but since I never have anyone in the back seat, and it can't be seen from the front seat, this one will suit me just fine.

To install it, you just remove the ashtray, and screw this cup holder on in its place.

If you are eating fast food, it isn't the most conveinent spot for a cup holder, but I more just want a place to put a bottle of water so that it won't roll around on the floor. It is easily reachable however.

Alright, I will hit up the yards this weekend, and get as many as I can, I would guess somewhere around 15 bucks shipped. Not sure what they are new...

Shoot me a PM if you want one, I will put up the actual price when I find out how much the yards charge me.

what does it screw into? How large a beverage cup does it hold?

It screws into the same metal bracket that the ash tray screws into. You just remove the two screws from the ash tray, pull it off, then screw the cup holder back on with the same two screws.

The holders are fairly close together, so they work well for two medium fast food drink cups but only one large drink cup. But I usually just put a large in the square hole up front.

This is a really inexpensive, simple to install, and incredibly useful mod. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to add cupholders.

Marlin - I think new from Isuzu the part was like $25-30.

Wondering if you found any more Trooper cupholders? Otherwise I will bug the guys at St Charles. thanks

This is what I did:

Removed the driver's side a/c vent, cut block of wood to fit snugly, painted it black, and then screwed this pen holder I found into that. Works perfect for a bottle of water or can of Monster.



I rarely run my A/C so I don't mind. And when I do I just aim the two center vents on me.

Went to the yard today, 6/8 troopers had been crushed!!! FOund an 07 axiom, gorgeous, got the cargo net out of it. Too bad the interior was brown, the power seats would be nice in the VX. I may go look at it again tomorrow and evaluate getting seat covers for it, just to have the power seats.
As for the drink holders, someone beat me to it, both were gone, but I did get another set of skid plates and clip style tow hook. Also got the engine cover off the axiom, the posts line up with ours, but it is quite a bit longer, gotta do some trimming to get it to fit. I will start a new thread with pics when I get to that.

I will try the other picnpull tomorrow if they are open.

Hmmm... the elusive '07 model... and I thought my 2004 was the last year they made them.

I may have to have you get something off it for me. What color is it?

Turns out the numbers on the windshield, which I thought was the year # must be some kind of local inventory number It was the light champagne or silver color, I don't remember, but it was brown leather, even had the fancy cargo mat in the back. They are closed tomorrow and mon, so I will have to go next weekend, I will be going to the local LKQ tomorrow, so I will search out the Zus there.
