    I just put them in a vise and took a hacksaw to them. Only took a few minutes. I suppose you could use a grinder as well.

    Well sure if you want to go the simple route... But why do that when there are power tools! Somehow I need to insert a Tim the Toolman grunt here...

    I hated how the OEM front cupholders would come out and stick with almost every drink container I put in them. My DIY cupholder solution: cut the rubber cupholders in half and only leave in the middle halves. It holds your drinks in place and stays put even with large bottles like camelback.;)

    I actually had the OPPOSITE problem. My coffee cups
    http://www.thermos.com/products/vacuum-insulated-black-trim-travel-tumbler.aspx
    are too small and flop around in the cup holders. I put some rubber "dot" bumpers in and screwed the bottom of the holder down into the console. No more flopping and the rubber inserts don't come out. I guess I would be out of luck if I tried to use a large bottle.

    GREAT solution for you, though!

    I made some floor mats for the back of my access cab using rubber diamond plate. After ordering my Husky liners for the front (Original Husky Liners) I couldn't find back Husky Liners for the Access cab.

    Also I removed the rear console so the dog would have more room.

    This is the picture after I put them in. Since I cut them on the garage floor, they are dirty...

    Yeah that's cool except no edges that rise. I would do this, but my weathertech rear access mat will hold some water.
