    Anyone out there know how to make a fishing rod/flag pole fro 2nd gen. tacos? I want to be able to angle it, not standing up straight. None of the threads I've checked out are aesthetically appealing or have the ability to be adjusted to certain angles sooooo I'm in search of answers on how to create one with some super cheap supplies from Home Depot.

    I haven't made one, but if I were to make one I'd use a piece of PVC pipe, take a T-slot nut into the front bed rail, a small piece of metal with a 90 degree bent end to bolt onto the t slot nut and then on the straight end have it stick out say 2-3" so your flag/fishing pole is at an angle and bolt the pvc pipe and piece of metal together to hold it in place at the angle of your choosing.

    Materials:
    PVC pipe
    T slot nut
    two bolts
    one strip of metal thin enough to bend yet hold the flag pole in it's spot.

    * could be modified to use to t slot nuts and two pieces of metal from both sides of the pvc pipe for a bit more stability *


    t slot nuts look like this - https://www.amazon.com/T-Slot-Finis...ght,+9/16"+Slot+Depth,+Made+in+US+(Pack+of+5)

    maybe use a piece of metal like this - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-4-in-Zinc-Plated-Corner-Brace-2-Pack-15309/202033899

    Hope this helps :thumbsup:
