Who totes Old Glory around on their truck?

Owning a truck I feel more at one with America ... I think it's just the nature of the beast. We built this country with hard work and exploring new lands .... I believe a truck basically exists for that very reason and if that don't scream AMERICA! I don't know what else does.

I'm a big fan of the flag flying in the bed of the truck but my GF will not get into the truck with me if I do it so I guess I'll have to for now haha .... sticking with the decals

That being said who displays the Flag of our great nation on their truck?

It can be a window sticker, flag in the bed, or even a paint job. Post up a pic and lets see Old Glory being displayed proudly on our rides!

I did on Independence weekend but it's a little impractical to keep in there all the time seeing how it's too tall to fit in the garage...

Back in my younger (and less thoughtful) days I flew a Confederate flag behind my truck while around town, but never took the time to work up a similar setup for my American flag--this has me thinking, now...I'm off today maybe it's time to do something about that

I fly the American flag in my bed on special occasions that call for it. But, I found that the flags, even high quality nylon ones with triple stitched ends fray quite easily when you sustain speeds over 40. I also had to make a custom flag pole out of a 10 ft piece of steel pipe cut down to 7+ ft in order to fly the giant 5 x ~7.5 ft flag we've got. Nothing else could handle it! But it's got a big hole in it now . . .

I'll work on getting a picture up.

Thank you for your service, 01 gt f150

Next time I feel motivated, I'm going to look into a custom made, super heavy duty one. I just don't know how much I'm going to want to pay for a flag haha.

I still need to do a write up for the triple flag mount I made and the pole. I began using an existing design from someone's write up, but ended up changing all of it and making one the exact right size for our beds, and strong enough to run 3 flags at one time

Does it count when the dumbasses are the majority of our elected "leaders?" I assure you that people like me/us are hard at work trying to counterbalance all of the dumbasses!

Zander, I was looking at the picture of your truck thinkin to myself "that's damn good looking truck . . . It looks familiar" and then remembered the TOTM vote! Your truck is exactly why I searched for a black one for so long, and then ended up with a white one

A BFH serves many purposes and IS necessary for any and all installations. Sometimes it takes some effort to find out where to use it, but a big wallop does everything some good! It embarrasses WD40

I kinda got past the BFH phase cause I broke to much crap. I now resort to obscenities and alcohol..lol

Or leaders have done the text book "what not to do" . So much for leadership by example or morals or crap that actually makes sense.
They are far more worried about getting re-elected by liberals and even have the backing of the media. To bad we can't have more fair and balanced leadership. Marine Corps leadership classes for NCO's may help but I'm beginning to wonder if were all hosed. A degree in @$$ kissing and brown nosing is required these days.
