Thought it's worthy to share my customized flagpole mount utilizing the best use of a glass suction cup.



What you need:

1. Glass suction cup

2. Small angle bracket

3. Couple of bolts and nuts (I use 5mm)

4. Drill



See image below for the finished product.

You're welcome MK. However, you need to consider the weight of your flag. You may opt to get the heavy duty type suction cups and bracket if you want a strong one.

Thanks strawb! Does ramy4x4 have the teraflex mount or do i need to get it elsewhere?

i already have the mount bracket from icon auto which i bought with the flag pole....should i just sell it?

*addition: is there something special about the teraflex mount or is it just that it's tried an tested?

Ramy4x4 stock Tearflex CB Antenna mounts ~ Heavy duty as it bolts on to the Jeep. Highly recommended
