Question Flags

For the guys and gals running full sized 3x5 flags on their JK's, how are you securing them?

I wanted to do it for the 4th, but was too busy top rig something up. I'm looking to rig something up for next weekend. I'm thinking of making a base out of 2x4's that runs from the back of the seats to the tailgate. I'll get a flag kit with a 45/90 degree bracket and screw that to the 2x4's. When I mount the flag, I figure I'll either use zip ties or pipe clamps to secure the upper part of the pole to the roll bar.

I have an Unlimited. Any input to make this work better would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nice! Thanks.

I've had a window flag zip tied to the top of the 3rd brake light since the 4th of July.

I use the T-Handle of the Or-Fab tire carrier as a flag holder and a PVC flag pole inserted into it, but without the tire carrier, I can't really help out.
