It's $100 plus shipping. Uses all grade 8 hardware and is all steel. Here's a strength test I did on it with my hi-lift.

Seriously, it looks like you welded a pice of pipe to a 2" ball receiver there is like 15 dollars worth of material there

Actually, there's over $80 worth of material. I didn't use welds. The way I did it will hold for a lifetime. When there's a chance of the thing flying through someone's windshield, I didn't want to risk using weaker mounting options. You get everything you need except the hitch pin. It's painted and all.

I see you have the one picture, but how well does a flag work like that at any speed? I would think there would be too much turbulence to get it to fly out nice.
