I'm planning on being at Silver Lake sometime next week. I need to know where to mount the flag on a WJ. From reading the DNR's site it appears that I have to mount it on the front. I don't want to have anything permanent as I'm borrowing a flag and pole. Neither of us is sure if there is a place to mount on a WJ or if holes need to be drilled.
I dont have pics, but when I go Im going to drill 5 holes in a piece of angle iron. One big one on top for the flag mount, and then 4 smaller ones on the back to screw on two 1" U-bolts. The U-bolts will then go around one of my front tow hooks.
Would it be possible to mount something to the front license plate holder? Being that VA requires front and rear plates, I have the front plate holder installed.
We bought a standard strap-type mount from David Allen Racing (right next to the entrance to the ORV area) for my brother-in-law's WJ last summer. If you fish around up underneath the bumper there are a couple of holes in the sheet metal supports. The holes we found were smaller than the standard 1/2" bolt they usually sell you for the flag brackets, but DAR had some smaller hardware available. We got his mounted in about 10 minutes in the parking lot with basic hand tools, no drilling required.
Stop fretting, Karen. I already told you that you can take my small tool box. I'll get you everything you'd need for hand tools. Of course, Kara took 1/2 of the sockets, so it'll be a crap shoot as to whether you have the size you need or not. :teehee: (kidding)
not missing much...
After my last tip up there my truck was missing much... had a few things rip off the bottom...
