Headache Racks and Bed Rails

[SierraTango]

What do you have for a Headache Rack?

How long have you had it?

Any Suggestions?

Advice for short or long Bed Rails?

Just starting to check these out, I'd like to get a nice rack with lights as well as bed rails the length of the 8ft bed.

Thanks ahead of time for input, suggestions and advice.

Looking for something like the haulers, Louvered on the sides with the slider cut out in the middle, at least brake and reverse light. And the last thing I'm looking for in a rack with the rest listed is a cutout for the third brake light.

I have a B&W been at least ten years and so far so good
http://www.turnoverball.com/products/cabprotectors/cab-protector The picture is a bit different than mine in the respect that mine has the louvers cut out for the sliding window as you want. So unsure if they no longer make it that way or if it is an option. I do not remember ordering it special. Also mine has a pair of brake lights as well as a pair of reverse/cargo lights instead of the picture that shows two pair of red lights. Again I do not remember ordering that special. With the brake lights no need for the chmsl (center high mounted stop light) light, which on mine is covered by the top crossbar. Now when I hit the brakes the red pair lights up so no need for the original chmsl to be seen any longer which you can see part of it but not enough to qualify it as a legal chmsl however again the brake lights on the rack more than make up for it.

I'm looking at a Pro-Tech tool box, but they make racks as well.

Not the cheapest, but really good quality from what I hear. The rack rails can be ordered to bed length as well.

Damn, didn't know B&W had headache racks. That is a slick looking rack and I've got a dealer in town I can talk to. Thanks for sharing that, B&W doesn't even come up as a link when I've previously searched for them before.

I've had the ProTech on my older dodge, the aluminum welds shook so much they've cracked.

This is how I build my headache racks. Virtually every truck I've ever owned how sported something similar. Sorry for the bad pic.

That's badass man. Love the bedrails and light placement. The LED lights in my opinion look a whole lot better than just regular lights.

Thanks for the info, maybe even being outdated B&W could point me in the right direction.
