Are You Sick of Spilling Drinks and Sore Elbows Ruining Your Off-Road Adventures?
Let's face it. If you drive an older Toyota, you already know the factory setup leaves a lot to be desired. Flimsy, useless cup holders that send your coffee flying at the first sign of a bump? A rock-hard (or non-existent) place to rest your arm on those brutal, hours-long overland drives?
It's annoying, it's uncomfortable, and quite frankly, it's distracting. You should be focused on the trail ahead, not doing a frantic balancing act with your drink while your elbow screams in agony.
Enter the Ultimate Comfort & Convenience Upgrade: The Surf Syndicate Cup Holder Armrest Set.
Originally designed for the rugged 70 Series Land Cruiser and now perfectly adapted with a custom mounting plate for the bulkier door cards of your Surf, 4Runner, or Tacoma this isn't just an accessory. It's an absolute game-changer. Here is exactly why this will be the best money you've ever spent on your rig:
You've invested time, money, and blood into making your rig capable. Now it's time to make it comfortable. Ditch the discomfort, keep your drinks locked down, and conquer the road ahead with pure, distraction-free confidence.
Installation Guide available here.
Yes. While the Armrests were orignally designed for Land Cruiser models, the Cup Holder Armrest Set has custom brackets designed to fit the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf and 4Runner (KZN185 / VZN185, 1996–2002). It also fits 1st and 2nd Gen Surf and 4Runner models, though 1st Gen vehicles may need minor trimming of the door card.
No drilling, screws, or modifications are needed. The armrest uses a wedge-fit design that slots directly into the window sill, secured by grippy rubber feet and the door card lip. Install takes about 60 seconds per side.
No. The 4th Gen Hilux Surf and 4Runner (2003–2009) use a different door card profile and the wedge-fit does not hold reliably on that model.
The Cup Holder Armrest Set is sold as a pair, so you receive one for the driver door and one for the passenger door in a single order.
Three colour options to match the factory Toyota interior: Grey, Oak (light brown), and Black. Pick the variant that matches your dash trim.

https://youtu.be/Vw9HqE_Qpmo?feature=shared I made a youtube vid to show fitting. I had them sent to the UK for my 3rd Gen and I am very pleased with the overall fit and look. However the fit is not perfect but with some velcro they are snug and will not slide around, only critisism is that there could be more adjustment to allow for the width of the door card to ensure a firmer fit. They are far better than my cup holder in the center dash :-)

Awesome modification for my Surf, highly recommend
Campbell P. 5/5 Verified
The only thing that i think would be helpful is if those little pads underneath where adhesive so that if you accidentally bump it, your drink doesn't go flying everywhere, "i speak from very little experience " lol

Looks good, easy to install added 1 screw into door frame makes all the difference. Dealing with the guys through email was flawless Delivered the next day and i'm rural. Cheers Campbell.

My brother loves them for his 2000 Tacoma, everything was great from pruchasing to delivery and communication. 10 out of 10 would definitely buy from Surf Syndicate again. Thanks for all the stickers as well!
Luis R. 5/5 Verified
It's pretty straightforward fit up doesn't quite follow the curvature of the door. I put them on a 1997 ssrx hilux surf that had a little extra speaker in the top of the door card and just fit in between the speaker and lock. Over all does the job and happy with the arm rests.

To big. Maybe offer one with out a cup holder. Mounting sucks. Should be changed. I wish I knew of a better way. I hate complaining, sorry. But the quality of the product is great!

Great product!! Going to another set for the back doors

I wish you had figured out a proper mounting method for these rather than leaving it up to the end user. These things are awesome, but man are they a pain to keep mounted. The steel plate slides out from under the retaining nuts, and upon tightening it feels like the bolt or stud is spinning and is about to strip. If I knew this now I probably wouldn’t have ordered these… your suggestion of using Velcro or 2 sided tape isn’t the most secure method for these when all there is for placement is the 3 small pads, which are magnetic for some reason.
