the axle is for a buddy of mine who will be at pismo as well in his runner. he is currently on a cruise but should be back thrusday. hope thats not to late to let you know. if i find out sooner. i post up here

I live about 30 minutes from Pismo, so yea you can let me know thursday.. Does he have a trailer? fitting an axle in the back of a 4runner would be an interesting trick..

he will have a trailer with a quad. i have thrown an axle in the back of my runner with the seats folded down. plenty of room
can you post or pm me pictures. any rust? working condition?

Hey guys,

My friend has a 4th gen and wants to know how to mount the fiberglass safety pole. What's the best way to do this? He has a std roof rack. That's it. No mount drilled anywhere. Stock everything. Suggestions on where to buy, etc. Please respond asap.

Thanks,
Bob

This might be a dumb idea, but could he zip-tie it to the grill?

I'd go to somewhere that sells Yakima or Thule racks. For Yakima get a horizontal mighty mount and mount the flag on that. I use something similar. It required adding a piece of aluminum to the mount but it's solid. Mighty Mounts changed about 5 years ago to universal might mounts and less of a rack specific mount. As such the "old" vehicle specific mounts can be found for cheap or in a freebie bin.

I've seen orange triangles on mag mount antennas as well. As long as it is tall enough it should pass.

If he has a receiver hitch you can put, mount, slip something in there. Only problem with that is that it would have to be a much taller whip to be tall enough.

Have him stop into a rack shop and tell them what he's looking for. Then go to a motorcycle/dirt bike shop and buy a flag. At least he'll have the parts and we can assemble something on the beach.

Bob,

I have a hitch mount plate that can be used to install the flag pole. I bought a bunch once the flag pole rule went in effect so just have him buy the hitch mount and we should be good.

thanks!

You only need the flag to go out to the back dunes, We can easily install something at the camp site, he doesn't need to buy it beforehand either as there are several shops right off the dunes that sell full whips and mounting hardware, but I agree with Mike to look into a mighty mount.

When it was pulled from my 4runner in 2010 it worked perfectly. There is surface rust that would take some sanding to clean up, but last I checked it was only surface. One wheel stud on the driver side hub is stripped, but the other 5 on that side and the 6 on the other are good. I don't have a picture as I'm at work, but I'll go try to get one when I get off tonight.

I've brought home an axle housing from Pismo before with not a big hassle. I used a hitch mounted basket. I was going to throw it on the roof, just not inside as it smelled of gear oil.

I think Bob ran churro oil.
