Cup holder? In my old SJ I used a mountain bike bottle holder...I had safety harnesses so bolted the bike thing where the old seat belt mounting was. Worked a treat.

Just fitted one of these winch remotes... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Winch-Wir ... 4369311%26

Really easy to fit an at just over a tenner including postage, it's a bargain.

They are 235-75r15

They rub a little on full lock, but otherwise they are fine.
