Default Scion xB cup holder mod

Just wondering has anyone done a mod to increase the size of teh cup holders on teh xB? maybe something big enough to hold a 64oz double big gulp from 7-11? just annoying holding drinks while driving .. lol that sounds bad but its the truth

There's this plastic contraption that fits on the bottom of a Big Gulp cup and will fit in a stock size cup holder in most vehicles.I have seen them at 7-11's before for sale,I think they went for $3.99.

Mc donalds has those cups that taper on the bottom, lol
but yeah like bamabox said, theres usualy cupholder adapters that let you stick larger cups in, like those super large "pee-maker" cups

I'm surprised 7-11 hasn't converted to a tapered cup yet. Every place else I know of has.

It's weird.

Here's a question: Does the bB have drink holders as well? I understand that a lot of cars from Europe, for example, don't have drink holders, so I wondered about Japan...

Anyway. I'm always afraid anything really tall will fall over, so I take my 20 ounce Coke® bottle and use that holder in the dash, above the glove box, to hold it.

The bB didn't have floor shift, the shifter is on the column. So they don't have a center console for a cupholder like we do. They have slide out drink holders that come out around the a/c controls. I hated that design on my Toyota pickups, because they bounce and slosh and they also usually hold your drink right near the heater vents...

For cans and small bottles, I use those thin can coolies. They are small enough to fit in and give enough spacing to keep the can from tipping. Like a little gasket. Those Scion sweatbands work too...

That's for sure!

I have the bB cup holder in my box and I'm lucky if I can get a 16oz. cup in there. I also have the JDM armrest and that only holds those small 8oz. cans.

Default drinkdrive

That is why there is cup holders , so you can have a drink and then cup holder it , so it doesnt tip and cause an accident . I just go to Smart & Final and buy 32oz plastifoam cups with lids , those things when the lid is on right CAN tip and Not drip .
Scionman , What does the JDM Armrest with holders look like ? I hate those ones in the dash , they always broke .
Raven have a Drink , but No eating in the boxen .
I have used that HOLE in the dash by the glove for my Cell , and its great when charging it too.
What Have All of you guys done with your HOLE ?
