Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

Now that I've ordered the mount, where can I get a flag pole for my "Beach Flag?"

Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

I will snag a picture of mine tomorrow.
She thinks it will be in the mail here by Saturday.

Cool thing is her flags are $15 for the ones already made up with her designs, and the custom ones you have her make are the same price.

She is really nice to work with.
I found her site with Google searching for "ATV flags."

I also ordered a heavy duty Firestik spring, quick disconect for a CB antenna like I use now, and I will use those with the flag pole.
Going to mount the pole on a hitch shank to go into the Toyota hitch.

Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

She does not carry the poles yet.
She is thinking about it.

Her mounts or poles she carries are to week for a 4x4.
Hers are meant for quad runners.

Your best bet is to do a search for your area for a custom motorcycle/ATV shop, and ask them if they carry the Firestik brand of poles.

If you do a search here for user BT17R, you will see his setup and Firestik pole.
I went with the 7' model.
You could also call up Firestik to see if they know any dealers in your area.

For the heavy duty spring and qucik disconect, I get my CB stuff from www.walcottcb.com

Quick disco

Heavy duty spring

You will need a longer bolt that goes into the bottom of the spring when bolting it into a tralier hitch.
I am not sure of the length yet until I buy a new shank.
BT17R said he used one for a Tacoma I think, and got it at the dealer.

At least on my aftermarket shank for mounting a ball to it is really thick metal.
Perhaps the Tacoma one he has is thinner.
I will dig up the link.

Hope this helps.
Just heard today my FJ will be built next week!
Should have it mid July.

Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

The flag came today, and it mounts to the Firestik pole perfectly.
Barbara includes a small hose clamp and tie, but it is not needed.
Just remove the red tip from the pole, and slip the new flag on.
You will have to move the Firestik black grommet on the pole down a few inches to accommodate the bigger flag.

New flag compared to stock flag

New flag only

Heavy duty spring & quick disconnect

Spring and pole/quick disco separated

I ordered last week from www.walcottcb.com the hd spring and quick disco, and they came yesterday.

The quick disconnect

The heavy duty spring

You can also order the same spring without the two electrical connectors shown.
I goofed on my order

Now all I have to do is take my old hitch shank from my '90 truck I pulled the tent trailer with, take the ball off, and get a longer bolt like Bob did and some big washers for it.

Oh, I also need an FJ Cruiser

Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

Couldn't you use a CB antenna to do both the CB and flag?

Re: New CB Antena Mount !!!

The flags themselves have to be 9' off the ground for visibility.
Shortly after 911 I like many other Americans ran an American flag on my 4Runner.

I put it on my 4' Firestik II antenna that was mounted to the fender.
This was before I got the ARB and put the antenna on it.

When the flag was on the antenna, it whipped it back and forth, and at times I thought it would tear out the mount on the fender.
You can see here the mount.

Flags need to be put on a separate pole just for them, and mounted in a sturdy mount such as the Bandi mount or on a trailer hitch like BT17R did.
