    i like for my truck to look good going down the road I just bought a nice bumper on my truck I have the t600 chrome 22 inch bumper anyone have ideas or ways they attach the oversize banner so it looks nice it doesn't steal away from the look of the truck and doesn't hurt the bumper... Also anyone have custom made flag brackets trying to get some ideas want to make a bracket that I can bolt to the bottom of the bumper and just quick attach the flags.....

    I just attach mine with tarp straps, been doing it that way for 18 years tried and true. I made my flag holders their nothing special. You might try these I would have liked to but never go around to buying any.

    They sell the quick disconnect spring loaded flags at chrome shops and the bigger truckstops. Word of warning, remove your flags at the end of the day. They're expensive and people will steal them.

    That's what I have. Lost the first set 3 months after installing them. Someone needed them more than I did. I always take them off if I stop for lunch or for the night. Word of advise lay them on the floorboard at your brake pedal so you don't forget to put them back on in the morn. Sign ' I have one made that sits in a bracket that sticks out 1 inch from my bumper in the center, I also have my license plate attached to it. Then I have rubber fasteners on the ends. DON'T COVER your plate. That will get the wrong attention fast!

    I put stainless steel bolts, washers, lock nut's through the bumper at the two upper corner grommets on a standard size OD sign. Then a stainless fender washer with a stainless wing nut and bungees with plastic hooks on the two lower corners going under the bumper. 1 min on, 1 min off and that includes the quick connect flags.

    On my big square Peterbilt bumper I had before I put this deer killer on, I used 6 magnets. The kind that have a bolt and wing nut, put them in the grommets on the banner, worked slick.
