HEADACHE RACKS
which matches their headache
rack and can be positioned
anywhere along the bedrails.
Highway Products and Spyder
Industries also make rear racks to
match their headache racks.
Some headache rack manufacturer and retailer websites make
it easy to accessorize. For example, Spyder Industries lets you
drag and drop your headache
rack choice into the shopping
cart and a list pops up that allows
you to select options including
angle horns, eye hooks, brake/
turn LEDs, rear facing lamps and
strobe light mounts depending
on the model. Each upgrade has
clearly listed prices next to it.
Many headache rack manufacturers sell their products only
through distributors. Protech, for
example, can be found on West
Coast Off Road's site, westcoastoffroad.com. When you order a
Protech cab rack, you can use the
site to choose from 21 different
upgrades to add to the rack.
West Coast Off Road also offers
a variety of stainless steel models
by Action Accessories with the
American eagle and flag, or bull
elk or flame designs.
Most areas of the country
have custom fabrication shops
that can build a rack to order.
A fab shop that says they build
headache racks can usually show
you samples of their work. With
today's computer controlled
CNC plasma or water jet cutters,
designs are limited only by imagination and budget.
When it comes to cab protection, run-of-the-mill will work for
some of your trucks, but there
are times when function needs
a little form to make a personal
and/or corporate statement.
In addition to custom headache racks, there are a number of
off-the shelf cab protectors that
can be a great fit for your company pickups. Here is a sample of
the headache racks that are ready
to go to work.
