Very nice.
Are they easily removable? Maybe use the ubolts to clamp a slightly larger pipe that the flag pole fit into, with a pin to secure them?

Just loosen the ubolt and they come right out. I moved them a tad bit higher and made a notch in the bottom so they sit on a bolt I have sticking out just under the ubolt.

Looks good man

...I agree the flags should be a little higher so they don't touch the side of the truck

I was working on a budget so when I get some cash the new poles are going to be made up and get adjusted better. The american flag hardly touchs the side now. The first picture was the first set up and the second was after I adjusted the height. Just need to get some cash in and really build these really nicely. I have a possible cruise in tomorrow and the show saturday and wanted this to be ready since the show is for the USO

I was waiting for you to chime in Tank. I have always loved your setup too bad I dont have your ability or place to store such a flag pole.

Never been that fast in the truck yet and I'm not driving with that american flag on there. I brought out the Baghdad flag for this show. Figure it would be a nice touch for a show for the USO and the Military

DAFBFD58- awww young grasshopper,...it is easier than you think,....

The flag pole I made breaks down into three pieces, 9' each,...and then they are bolted together with short sections inside the pipe.

Actually it is a super easy design.

Unless Erector sets were to difficult for you to master when you were a kid....j/k....lol

Ah I loved Erector sets. Maybe one day I'll drop you the cash to build one the next time you come my way.

Oh.

Well...just to help you out...if you plan on making a bigger one....

This is the only thing that is welded on mine....the mount that goes into the receiver,...everything else just bolts together.
