I found one (several) at Warmart, in the toys section, for really cheap. About $5 each, made of a fairly strong material, it is great in a pinch. It's intended use is for a bicycle, but mounted on the bumper of a lifted rig will easily net you the required height.

Hey Eric,
Why don't you make yourself useful and give us a breakdown of the Mob List by vehicle style?
Jim
Alright, thanks for the info Pighead and spdwaver1.
Whip threaded on the truck end I presume Woody?
Do you know the thread size so we can bring appropriate washers/nuts to secure it if we've got a place in mind? ...no, I'm not as bad as E9999.
On Thursday set CB to "Thursday", Friday set CB to "Friday" and so on...
Or you could use day of the month...
Awesome woody, I'll wait to find out about the thread size and i'll look for you thursday night.

BrentE9999bba,
Personally, I'm a zip tie/duck tape kind of guy myself.
Got these at the shops on Pier Avenue ramp. Works with a 1/2 inch hole. Whip is 1/4 inch hole through split bolt. The whips are not threaded, just smooth fiber glass. It's a compression fit.
what? you guys need a threaded mast too...? geez...
drill a hole in your roof and off you go!
me, I made a custom threaded rod insert with rubber liner and epoxy coated gizmo. Of course it's not exactly like I can take it apart any more but eh, it looks cool...
thanks for the ham info Jim. But what's this about vehicle style? There is only one fashionable style: 80 all the way!

Accountants made them expensive...

Is it easy to mount the ih8mud flag to a 8ft ham antenna HFCs whip?
Had a panic mode for a minute, my P/S pump started puking fluid at an alarming rate. I originally thought it was the front seal, but turns out it was the P/S pump leaking down to the front crank pulley. Lucky I had a spare sitting on a spare engine, 3 hours and some skinned knuckles and it is now leakless! Got a couple small things to detail and then packing for the epic event!
They are are bare 5/16 fiberglass...no mount....posted early about offering those, but had to draw a budget line somewhere...
Any sand/ATV shop will have a threaded mount avail...
