Mounting place?

OK here is the deal,
the 4th of july is comming up real soon.
I am thinking of a way to mount an american flag to an all american Jeep.
When I had my YJ and TJ I used to use the rear roll cage to mount my flag. What I am looking for was to mount a flag on my KJ. Any one have any ideas where to mount something like that?

It is not going to be one of thoes cheezy walmart 5 dollor flags, its gonna be a flag with some size to it.
Any ideas would be great gang.

I suggest hanging it from a CB antenna. It's simple, easy, and tasteful. Plus it will swing in the wind on the highway like a flag.

angle iron attached to the rear tire carrier put a tennis ball on the flagpole and your good to go.

both kool ideas.
I was sitting out side after I posted this topic and was looking at the back of the KJ with a (lot) of beer thinking how to do it. I came up with an idea that might work. Actually both of you kinda hit it. If I take the top lug off the tire carrier and make some king of angle iron and attach a pole to it, then use the lug as a mounting spot.

I gonna play aroung with it over the next few days and see what I can fab up.

You guys are the freaking best people around!

Just remember, that flappin flag is gonna put some stress on the gate to wheel bracket mounting points and may result in a bent gate panel if ure flag is on the big side.

I would make a mount that uses the roof rails...they could probably handle the stress...knida like a x-mas tree stand format

Id say it would be fine. I hang from mine all of the time for the heck of it and its strong as an OX.

I just sketched out a plan for a hitch mounted flag pole. This is just an idea that I had. I have not put it together yet, so procede at your own risk. It does require a welder though. It also is quickly removeable. Take a spare reciever plug and cut the back end off at about a 30 degree angle (or what ever angle will give enough tire clearance later on). Then weld a small section of box steel on the cut end. Make sure both ends are welded shut. Drill a hole in the top, the size of your pole and then insert the pole.

Take an 8ft peace of 1-1/2" condute and a short cargo strap and if you have a hitch turn it upside down and fit the condute over the ball nut and take the cargo strap around the flag mast and the spare tire, I fitted a Confederate Battle Flag this way and drove 126 miles round trip for a parade on Confederate Memoral Day.

P/S I used self tapping screws to fasten the flag to the mast .
