Hey everyone, just wanted to throw this idea out there for anyone who has an interest in flying flags in the bed of their truck without any drilling or modification. The company that makes the stands is called "My American Truck". The photo above shows their "Rebel" Stand. I can take more photos of the flag mount if anyone has questions but they do have some photos and information on their website at "myamericantruck.us"

 

The stand is pretty awesome and is secured using only two ratchet straps. I have taken my truck at 65 + on the highway without any issues with this mounting system. I highly recommend this system to anyone who wants to fly a flag every once in awhile but does not want to do modifications to their truck bed.

 

Any questions do not hesitate to ask! I will take some photos of the stand and share them on this thread soon!

You can also mount a 2x4 or 2x6 across the bed. You just measure and cut then press in. The bed has small extrusions to keep it in place and the 2x4 stays pressure fit. Mount some pvc to the board and get some wooden dowels that are the same size as the inside of the pvc. I have some small holed drilled through the pvc and wooden dowel with a little pin that holds everything together. Taken on the highway at 75ish? No issue on the mount although one of the cheaper printed flags I've bought is almost trash.

 

Downside is that the 2x4 mounts by pressure fit so its not something you want to remove and install often. I just leave mine in as I don't use the bed daily and when I do it's not been an issue so far. Also a lot cheaper than $275.

For yall who don't mind drilling there is this option. I must admit, although pricey, it seems very well built and worth the money if I were to fly a flag all the time.

That looks like a very well built product. Good option for a more permanent instillation.

I made this receiver mount flag pole for my friend. Machined down two spots and weld on some rings that cut out of tubing to mount the tabs on to so the flag could spin freely and not get tangled up. Mounted it to my work truck for a few days to test it out before i handed it over.

Just a question but why do you want a flag on your truck?

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
