Flying Flags on a b2?

[Lil-Pony]

Done a quick search to no results. Am trying to think how to fly two flags on my truck at the beach and where ever I decide to fly em. It's real easy for a ranger but I've got a bronco so any suggestions or pics of it already done?

Do you have fold out a rear spare tire carrier? When I had my 89 BII I mounted a nice flag for our local 4th of July parades and our Vet rallies on the carrier. You can get mount kits at a hardware store or look on Ebay or Amazon. If you don't have one I see by the Avatar you have a custom front bumper. You can mount one on the far outside area. You really dont want to drill holes in the body of course to mount a flag. On my Ranger I have done this inside the bed area to fly a flag.

Didn't think about the front push guard can i still mount them off the rear bumper

I don't see why not. Better check your state laws if you are going to drive around daily with a flag up your butt!!! For a parade it should be a-ok.

The back corners seem the best option. If you've got a tire carrier, you could probably just lash a long pole to it with some rope and call it a day (if your any good with lashing)

Otherwise, I would just get a piece of tube, cap one end, and mount it vertically on the back bumper. Probably need a hole in the cap so it will drain water out the bottom and not just fill up.

I took and got a metal mount from walmart and marked out my bumper and drilled it and bolted it to my bumper that way and it has worked so far and hasn't fallen off even when going 60 down the highway since it is for the most part protected from the wind

I'm thinking of mounting these tubes surrey speaks of on my hatch at the bottom of it, how does that sound.

wont work cause your hatch is fiberglass and it will tear right off trust me mine did it first time do it like we are talking about and you wont risk injuring someone cause of the screws tearing through the fiberglass

Mount some fishing rod holders to the bumper, rear quarter or roof. That way if your not flagging or fishing you can pop them right off the mounts.

depends how big you want the hole in your hatch.

I said bumper for a reason... Attaching anything like this to a body panel is asking it to get broken. You want it somewhere solid so when you forget its there, and snag it on a tree or a parkade roof, your pole bends or breaks, and you dont do major damage to your rig.

Very good point, bumper it will have to be. Dont want to accidently cause damage to my trucks body. A bumper can be replaced easy. I just want something that can withstand highway speeds. Ive seen the ones that mount in your trailer hitch reciever.

If you had a roof rack you could make some ABS rocket launchers real quick and cheap and hose clamp it to your rack, like these:

Roof rack?

Just built one to mount in my hitch. Too bad you want to do 2 flags. I just used since old square stock and welded it now it slides into my receiver and is solid

Ive been staring at my factory bumper trying to figure this out so i dont block my tailights with the poles and i can still open my hatch with out having to remove the flag polesit would have to be mounted on the side but the metal isnt level there. If i bolted a holder their the flags would fly above the vehicles in the lanes next to me and possibly block my view of my side mirror. I would need to somehow shim the mounts till they are level but then i worry about strength.
