NomadLife Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Here is my latest modification for an antenna pole holder. I used a 3” (bolt side) x 4” (height) x 5” (wide) .250 inch thick right angle with two .375 U-brackets while utilizing existing bumper bolts, washers, nuts and holes. I made sure the round pipe was 2 inches away from edge of the right angle aluminum (towards rear, away from Ollie) so that this pipe did not interfere with the swinging bumper when closing/pinning with locking pins. Make sure the 2 holes in the right angle are away from the right angle radius so that the large existing washers will not be on top of this radius (so washers are flush on top of metal). The U-brackets will allow you to move the pole upward or downward, along with removal for when towing so the lights are not blocked. The 22 ft flag pole I purchased is fiberglass from polesandholders.com and it is collapsible. The flagpole holders from this site will not work for my chosen bumper location. The inside flagpole holder pipe diameter will be determined by your flagpole outside diameter measurement. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX Burner Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nice work - thanks for sharing, @NomadLife. Will this be a mount for your vertical HAM radio antenna? Are you considering radials also?

Patriot Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 @NomadLife thanks for posting, let us know how your shake down of that mod works out. It appears to be a very solid mounting set up. 2 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be a very solid mounting set up. You're welcome! I remove the bracket (2 bumper bolts only) then re-install the 2 bolts only through the bumper for travel so the lights are not blocked. This is easier than removing 4 nuts from the U-clamps. The telescope pole allows me to keep the pole inside of my OE2. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
