Default Flag poles

So I just bought a 2015 XLT and put a line x spray in bed liner. My dilemma is that I really want to fly my flags this summer but don't want to drill any holes in my truck yet and I'm not too ecstatic about a hitch flag pole. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could build?

You could get some of those cool window flags. No prep work necessary.

Check ot truckattachments@aol.com. They also have a video on YouTube It's a stake pocket mounted unit that takes a snap in flag pole holder and also tie down cleats. Looks pretty cool, they recommend a flag of 24x36 but suggest in the video that you could go larger.

Yeah, I would buy an extra box cleat and have a weld savvy individual weld a flag pole holder. Insert your flag and runs some screws in in the pole so the pole doesnt come out. Whenever you want your flag up just remove the cleat.
