70 Series Store Cup Holder Armrests Pro – Comfort & Practicality Made Simple
70 Series Cup Holder Armrests Pro - Is this the Most Practical Upgrade?
If you own a 70 Series Land Cruiser, you already know the story: legendary off-road capability, but an interior that’s… well, basic. One factory cup holder. Minimal storage. And when you’re doing long stints across the outback or the Simpson Desert, the lack of a comfortable armrest becomes painfully obvious. Resting your arm on the steel windowsill? That gets old fast, I promise you, it does extremely quickly.
Owners often spend hundreds or even thousands upgrading centre consoles just to gain a couple of extra cup holders and a bit more storage. But even then, comfort is still lacking. That’s why we were excited to try the Cup Holder Armrests Pro from the 70 Series Store – a simple, no-drill upgrade that promises comfort, practicality, and a factory-style finish.
This is our first look after fitting and initial testing. We will share a full review after extended use, but based on the install, a few thousand kilometres driven, and hundreds of verified customer reviews, this looks like one of the most practical upgrades for any 70 Series Land Cruiser interior: just what you want from your 70 Series accessories.
Delivery & Packaging
The buying experience was smooth and professional from start to finish.
- Delivery notifications kept us updated every step of the way.
- On arrival, we received an email confirmation with a link to report any issues (did you get the product basically) – a great touch given how unreliable deliveries can be these days.
- The packaging was extremely robust, making it almost impossible for the armrests to get damaged in transit. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
This attention to detail sets the tone for the product itself, quality and care from the moment you order.
What You Get
Inside the box:
- Two armrests with cup holders (driver and passenger side).
- Clear protective stickers for the door panel. These aren’t essential because the magnets have rubber protectors, but it’s smart to use them for extra peace of mind.
- A 70 Series Store sticker for your rig or toolbox.
Everything feels premium and well thought out, no unnecessary extras, just what you need. And, no installation instructions, because you don’t need them (read further to see why).
Initial Thoughts
The first thing we noticed. Comfort and quality.
The cushioning is exceptionally soft, around 20mm thick, and feels luxurious compared to the foam armrests we’ve tried before. It’s a massive upgrade from resting your arm on bare metal. On long drives, this makes a real difference. The padding has just the right amount of give, so your elbow sinks in comfortably without feeling flimsy.
The cup holder design is great. It includes a rubber insert to reduce vibration and keep cups secure, plus three small pop-outs that grip your drink. The insert is removable for cleaning, a thoughtful touch and it is needed for all that dust and sand. At 75mm diameter, the cup holder fits coffee cups, 600ml water bottles, and cans perfectly.

And how do they look? Spot on. The grey colour option matches the 70 Series Land Cruiser interior so well that it feels factory fitted. It blends seamlessly with the door trim and dash, so you don’t notice it’s an add-on. For anyone who values a clean, OEM-style finish, this is a big win.
Why does this matter? Many aftermarket 70 Series accessories look out of place, especially in a vehicle as iconic as the 70 Series Land Cruiser. These armrests don’t just add comfort, they maintain the rugged, purposeful aesthetic that 70 Series Land Cruiser owners love.
Colour Options
The 70 Series Store Cup Holder Armrests Pro come in four colour options:
- Grey – Matches the standard 70 Series interior perfectly for an OEM look.
- Black – Ideal for those with the facelift 70 Series and upgraded trims or who prefer a sleek, modern finish.
- Brown – Complements classic interiors or custom leather upgrades – especially the iconic brown interior of the 80 Series Land Cruiser (if you can find one).
- Tan – Perfect for lighter interiors or those chasing a retro vibe.
With these colour choices, you can match your factory interior or create a custom look that suits your style. This flexibility is rare in aftermarket accessories and ensures the armrests look like they belong in your Land Cruiser.
Modifiable Fit for Other Land Cruiser Series
While the 70 Series Store designed these accessories for the 70 Series Land Cruiser, these armrests can also be modified to fit 40, 60, and 80 Series Land Cruisers. The 70 Series Store provides detailed instructions, and the process is extremely simple, no complex tools or major alterations required, just re drill a few holes. This makes the product even more versatile for owners of older Land Cruisers who want the same comfort and practicality upgrade.
Installing the 70 Series Armrests
Here’s where the 70 Series Store armrests really shine. Most 70 Series accessories, and vehicle mods in general, are a pain to install. They often involve drilling, cutting, or fiddly brackets. This upgrade? Took less than five minutes. Seconds actually. However, we had to clean our door frame and a few other little things, that made our install take a little longer than it should have.
The process is simple:
- The armrest has an aluminium mounting plate with a 90-degree angle that slides between the window and door frame, inside the rubber seals.
- Use the provided clear protection stickers to protect the door frame paint. Hold up the armrest to work out where the stickers need to be placed.
- Strong magnets lock it in place instantly.
- Positioning is easy, if it’s not perfect, just lift and adjust. No adhesive, no screws, no stress.
- Underside Lining Up Protective Sticker Placement on Paint
- Armrest Fitted to Passenger Side Door
The magnets are extremely strong, so once fitted, the 70 Series Store armrests feel solid and secure. Just make sure to leave enough clearance so the cup holders don’t hit the dash when closing your doors.
Honestly, this is one of the easiest 70 Series accessories we’ve ever installed. It’s refreshing to have something that works straight out of the box without tools or headaches. For anyone who’s spent hours fitting consoles or drilling holes for accessories, this is a breath of fresh air.
How the 70 Series Store Cup Holder Armrests Pro Have Performed So Far
After only a few thousand kilometres, the difference is clear:
- Comfort: The soft cushion transforms the driving experience. It’s chalk and cheese compared to bare metal or foam armrests.
- Positioning: Sits perfectly for natural arm support.
- Integration: Matches the interior so well you forget they are aftermarket.
- Convenience: Extra cup holder storage right where you need it, ideal for coffee cups or water bottles on long drives.
- Safety: Having your drink right beside your hand for easy access, keeps your eyes on the road and focused ensuring you get to your destination safely.
We’re impressed and looking forward to testing these on extended outback trips. If first impressions hold up, this will be one of our favourite interior upgrades.
