I want to mount a flag pole to my XJ but not sure the best way to do it. Anyone else have flags on their XJs?

 

I made a homemade hitch pole. I also saw a guy the other day who has just put one of the little metal flag pole brackets on his bumper. I wouldn't think it would hold up very well but with as often as I see it I guess it does.

 

I have a homemade one that's just a metal pipe welded to a standard 2 inch hitch. then i have a flag on a pvc pipe with screw to keep it from sliding down too much. for $25 you can't beat it.

 

Best bet is to build a receiver hitch mounted one cheap and easy to build and to install/remove.

 

Thanks guys

 

I make them and sell them. 2" square tube, 1 1/2 round tube about a foot of each, 1" Pvc pipe, 1/4 pin and a couple holes for height adjustment. Cut either a fitting or the bulge end of conduit for ziptie retainers. Cost probably ~$10 if that.

 

I used self tappers and the mount the flag came with(for a wall). work perfectly, and my bumper was bent enough to where it points straight up.

 

if I only had a hitch receiver

 

you can get them cheap from the junkyard, or get an aftermarket bumper with one in it. Very useful for many things.

 

I've thought about a new bumper just don't know what to get

Looks good. Got photos of it installed?

 

I have ares fab bumpers, I like them, I slightly tweaked the rear bumper pulling someone out though. He had a fully loaded trailer, stuck on the side of the road and I was pulling with my 6" drop because I was too lazy to pull a d ring off. I had it in 4 low spinning all 4 on pavement. Here's some pictures of the bumper

 

How much is that bumper?

 

I believe it was around $360 I want to say, but I had custom frame tie ins built.
