My daily liquid carrying device is a Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle. That's what it's called. Basically, it's a 18-ounce Thermos that's thin, has a quick release top, and keeps water cold all day. With the top off, the mouth is wide enough to accept ice. It looks cool too.

It fits the front cup holders (with inserts), front and rear door cup holders, and rear center armrest cup holder. I'm pretty happy with this thing. I realize that it might be a little smaller than what you're looking for, but if you can live with that, I would recommend it.

Thanks, Aribus. I think that is a winner!

It looks like the bottle needs to be 2.5 inches in diameter to fit in the cupholders. Your suggestion is exactly 2.5" (It is listed wrong on amazon, apparently.)

I would still like more volume, but it looks like I am stuck at 18 oz.

Thanks for the help -

 

You are very welcome. I'm glad to help.

 

I use one of these and a can of pepsi. Fits perfectly without the rubber insert and fits the doors with a bit o snug. :wink:

 

$7 at Wal-Mart. Fits just right with the inserts installed.

 

 

THE WINNER....

 

Im thinking about doing this install - how do you get a tap to reach the front seat?

Flex hose with a spigot on the end. Small 12 volt air compressor on the kegs to keep them pumped up. 12 volt fridge to keep the mugs chilled.

And what do you tell the cop when he pulls you over?

"Uh, yeah, officer, you see, I'm conducting this biofuel experiment......"

 

Do those kegs say "Auckland Brewery"?

 

For anyone who is looking for a bottle that fits perfectly in these god forsaken cupholders - after weeks of searching, I have one:

It's the Bubba HERO Insulated Mug - 16oz: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/bubba-hero-insulated-mugs-assorted-16-oz-1423032p.html#srp

Note that there is a Bubba HERO "Grip" version of this mug that is almost identical except for a rubber grip around the middle - the base is slightly wider on this and pulls the rubber insert out when you try to use it.

I tried to find that Thermos one listed above and I think they changed the design - what I found was very similar but didn't quite fit.
