Product Details

Beast™ Headache Rack by Highway Products®. The Guardian™ Headache Rack is as functional as it gets. Add that to the fact that its tapered design will match the contours of your truck and you can say goodbye to not being looked at everywhere you go.

Installation

LED Lighting
Headache racks with lights add extra protection when breaking and decrease the chances that you will be rear-ended. Highway Products can embed LED strips directly into the uprights or cross section, giving it flush look. Adding lights to your cab guard gives it that custom look that will separate you from the crowd.

1/8" Rust Free Aluminum
Aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio is far superior to steel. Steel is twice the weight of aluminum, and no matter what you do, steel will rust. All Highway Products Inc. toolboxes are made from 1/8" rust-free T6 6061 aluminum, the same material used by the military, aircraft manufactures and boat builders. This thick, lightweight material is the perfect solution for reducing the weight of your work truck.

Honeycomb Mesh Design
This headache rack insert is punched with honeycomb holes and the aluminum is bent in a wave like fashion. The combination of the honeycomb and waves deflect sunlight and lights coming in the rear view window. Not only does it protect your rear window, it also deflects light and harmful UV rays.

Custom Fit
Fully welded headache racks do not allow you to customize them to your truck. Highway Products effortless custom-fit design allows you to adjust the uprights and mesh insert to the height of your cab. This customization gives your headache rack that low profile design so you can drive your truck in places you couldn't with a full size lumber rack.

Tapered Design
The tapered design honeycomb headache rack matches the contour of the uprights to the contour of your cab. This feature gives your truck a stylish look. Aside from the good looks, these racks perform like an extra tool for your truck. They can be used to carry ladders, lumber or anything that is longer than the cab of your truck.

Mounts, Brackets, & Trays
Mounts can be welded to the top or side of headache racks so you can add utility lights or emergency rotating lights. Brackets can be purchased so you can display "Over-sized Load" signs, beacons, flags and lights. Adding trays between the uprights is a perfect storage solution for storing items like jacks, chains or rope.

Optional Full-Length Bed Rails
These all aluminum bed caps protect your bed rails from scratches and dents, and raises the truck bed for increased carrying capacity. It also gives you super convenient tie-down spots all the way down the length of your truck.

Half the Weight of Steel
Aluminum is half the weight of steel; allowing a heavier load which gives better fuel economy while carrying additional cargo.

Alcoa Aluminum
Highway Products proudly uses premium Alcoa aluminum to build the highest-quality American-made metal products available.

Lifetime Warranty
All of Highway Products standard products come with a Lifetime Warranty against defects in workmanship. Your warranty includes locking mechanisms, hinges, gas props, weatherstripping, and any other materials Highway Products use.

No regrets, truck looks mean
Didn't NEED a headache rack but let's be real, we all want our trucks to look badass. This one does that while adding protection. The open mesh keeps airflow moving, important if you have a rear window that opens, and it's tough without weighing down your truck like steel racks. Looks great on the truck, works for me.

Strong But Lightweight
I run a construction business so my truck is loaded up all the time. This rack works great and is worth every penny. Fit was flawless, I bolted up in about 30 mins, very simple! It's aluminum so it doesn't add a ton of weight but it's still strong. Pricey but honestly worth it. would buy again for sure.

Perfect for work trucks
This is excellent qulity. Install is easy, you just need a drill. I use my Sierra 2500 for work and this rack keeps the back window protected and holds up to heavy use. The mesh design doesn't block my view.

Great Build Quality
I installed this on my F-250 and it's been awesome. The mesh design gives it a tough look. It's also great for work, I haul ladders and long gear and it holds up great.

Looks are half the battle
It definitely looks good once it's all said and done. But has a couple issues for me. -For the price I paid I wish the metal was thicker. Couldn't imagine leaning a ladder or sticks of conduit against it. Probably bend underweight. -Side post is way bigger than it looks so say goodbye to any over the rail's toolboxes. If you want to keep it, then you'll have a 6" gap from the back of box to bed. Now I got to buy another toolbox to fit in-between the post and rails inside the bed. All in all, it looks good but wish I got more for the price I paid, but hey everything nowadays is expensive.

Impressed With It So Far!
I bought this for when I'm getting wood, haven't beat it up yet but it feels very good quality. Had to drill a few holes here and there to mount on the bed but I highly recommend this product.

Buyer
The product looks great. I am not completely satisfied with the rack because it is not taller than the roof of the truck so it doesn't serve the purpose in witch i ordered it for, which is a ladder rack. I am also not completely satisfied with how long it took to get the product. Originally ordered on Nov 2 2017, was told it was on back order and would ship in the 30th, after numerous emails it finally shipped on or around 12-14-2017.
