Flag's are in the bed

Well, almost. I just got done making the mounts to fly my flags in the bed. I'll snap some picks after I go pick up my flags. I droped them off at a taylor and he was going to stitch them all around to prevent freying. The first two I'll be flying will be the Buc's flag, and the BULL's.

GO USF!!

I've got the stars and bars in my room, and the other flag usually fly's at the house. I can fly any 5x3 flag with this setup.

Aren't those flags whipping around and smacking your tailgate going to leave marks while you're driving at freeway speeds?

Otherwise, looks good.

I don't think its recommended that you drive over about 45-50 mph with the flags in. Driving faster I think will cause them to rip/tear. I don' think they can cause damage to the tailgate, you never know though.

I'm not sure, you've been snapped with a towel before haven't you? Leaves a welt doesn't it? They may only leave scuff marks, easily buffed out, I don't know but it seems to me they'll leave some sort of mark.

It might be possible, I'm not really sure. I'm just saying that from my own experiences. I had flags mounted in the back of my old one, and they were on bed sheets(way bigger than his flags, they reached almost to the ground). I never had any marks or scratches of the sort after flying them, and that was at 45 mph.

Maybe they won't. I have no idea, just throwing it out there.

Don't worry about high speed with these. They're really just meant for driving aroun town and down the beaches. I had to get on the interstate tonight so I just popped the rods out and off I went.

They also don't hit the tailgate. When at speed they stay straight out.

little peice of info I picked up, the confederate flag that was posted is not actually the stars and bars. The flag known as the stars and bars was ditched because it resembled the Stars and Stripes to closely if I remember correctly.
