Just curious. It seems like a simple mod, but those are the ones that always seem to get you into trouble. Cheers.

It wouldn't be hard to hole-saw out the cup "indicators" and install some sort of 3D printed cup. Looking at my pictures when I put sound deadener inside the tailgate, the passenger side has plenty of room but the driver side might interfere with the latch bar

The photo I had available, without measuring anything...

Oooh, thank you for that. I didn't pay that much attention to the bars when I pulled the panel last year.

Tons of various RV cupholders out there. I'd do stainless!
I was thinking stainless, something rhino lined black, or plastic. Hmmm... I wonder if bronze or copper would look cool?

Am I just weak or did that panel you removed weigh like 100lbs! I meant to weigh it.
