Hey guys i was wanting to buy or make a flag mount for tailgating purposes so i can fly it from the back of the truck. Anyone know where i could get something or what i would need to make one? Thanks

 

Man...you ARE crazy


I thought I was a redneck...sheeesh, what was I thinking? I'm a high class white collar worker now

I've never wanted to fly off the back of my truck

 

how bigs the flag/flag pole... i built something for my off road flag (orange) and it drops in back buy my tailgate

 

haha ricky you have no idea how bad i have it. JK

but yeah the flag is prob like a 3ftx5ft or a little bigger.

 

i want to now how bigs your pole is!

whats the size of the flag pole (OD)

EDIT: Will you drive around with it or only have it up when its parked?

 

o haha sorry prob like a 5-6ft pole cause ill be driving with it too and i dont want to fly that high cause itll look kinda awkward im thinkin.

 

he means what is the width of the pole, so he could make something that the pole fits into

 

and do you have a pole and if so whats it made out of

and thats a yes on the part where your going to drive with the flag up

 

right now i dont have anything. i just know the flag size. i dont know what the pole would b made of or the mount. sorry for the confusion, and yes about the flying with it up

 

once you get a pole give me a shout and i could build you something for cheap

 

get yetself a mirror mount for a cb antenna, and only use the right angle part of the bracket. mount it inside the bed, on the stake pocket using self threading bolts. Here's the bracket I used to mount my antenna to my tool box. mine has 3/8-24(? whatever fine thread is). Just giving you an idea.

Looks like this:

 

see and i could make that for under $5... im saying when he knows what he wants i can make him something for a lot cheaper than he could buy it for

 

it was cheap..$8. GiJoes. Albany huh?

 

Yup, all my life

 

I made mine so you could drop it into the post holes in the bed so you could take it out with no tools

 

got pics? i too am wanting to roll around with a flag on the 4th of july.

 

lol i was about to ask the same for pics but he beat me to it.

 

now, that would be a sight to see.

 

haha i just realized what i wrote, it would be a sight to see!

 

what would be good to use as a pole if im gonna be driving on highway and city?

 

ill do my best when i get home... theyll be from a camera phone and ill try and post them tomorrow
