It's called a PTO pin or a locking pin with retainer.

My setup uses two. One holds the two-piece pole together, and the other holds the flag in place. I also wired up a self-contained LED so the flag will be properly illuminated at night

My respect to you and the proper display of our flag unlike so many that you see that are dragging on the ground at times or torn up in pieces.

here's mine, height is perfect, just over the roof so it can flap in all directions, can be seen from all directions, and doesn't have a chance of touching the ground. Lol. It's adjustable too.

Just seeing what you guys think. Got back from my last work trip and now I have to press really hard by the right rear windows switch for any of the windows to work. Also now I have to press there lightly to get the door lock switch to work. Bad master switch panel?

Anyone know the size for the oil drain plug for an aw4 in a 98 xj? I've done a few searches and the only info I found stated it was an m10x1.5. I want to be sure before I drive to parts store. Thnx

Looks like 1/2" - 20
You can confirm that with a lugnut.

By the way, i have H4 headlights and the upgraded harness. Any idea as to what's causing this? Thanks
anybody? Could this be caused by a bad turn signal switch?

I already tried cleaning the grounds and haven't seen any loose wiring but I'll check again.

Your description really sounds like a bad/ loose connection.
However, remember that the wiring for XJ lights is to small for the amperage, SO...
There may be a breaker that gets too hot and cuts off. Check the fuse block.
Mine used to do that before I upgraded the switches, (I still need to do the Harness - but it works now)
Also - that breaker can go bad. new ones don't cost too much
