Built by a 4Runner owner, for yours

I’m Nate, the owner of MantellaWorks—and a 1997 4Runner. I design practical upgrades around the truck I drive, from cup holders that make everyday trips easier to bumper lighting and interior parts that feel at home in a third gen.

MantellaWorks is a small, owner-operated business in Utah. I handle the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of our custom parts, with a focus on solving the little frustrations that come with a truck worth keeping.

Thanks for supporting what I’m building.

If you have one of these fantastic rigs, you know how much the factory cup holders are lacking in functionality. This completely solves the issue. Looks great as well. Shipping was fast, and I will absolutely be working with these guys again!

The cup holder for my 96 4Runner fit perfectly. It makes carrying drinks worry free cause we all know that the factory cup holder is a little sketchy. I will definitely be ordering more things for the 4Runner like those turn signal mods. They shipping was very fast. I am from Hawaii and it arrived in 2-3 days.

I ordered the product and the ball was the wrong size, the tread pitch was wrong also. I couldn’t use it for a planned trip and I still had to go and order the correct part off Amazon because they couldn’t help me. I sent a follow up message to see if I can get some reimbursement and have not heard back.

After accidentally being sent to my old address, they kindly sent me another cupholder very promptly to the correct address. The cupholders have been amazing, it’s nice not having my drinks flying all over the car anymore!

Can finally use my center ac vents again. Ordered this for my 1997 Hilux Surf and it fit perfectly. I use my vehicle for mail delivery and the scanner for packages fits perfectly in the cup holder. Wish I had bought this sooner.

Hands down the best mod I've bought for my 98 4Runner, easy install and works fantastic, you really notice the convenience of actual cupholders that work and a good spot to put your phone in too
