Headache Racks

[MotorsportsAustin]

Hey all, any gen 3'ers running a headache rack or even more specifically an Aries Switchback? https://www.ariesautomotive.com/part/1110112

My question is ultimately does your rack or the Aries rack block (or partially block) rear bed camera, white light, and brake light?

Not a helpful post but what the heck are you putting in your bed that you need to cover the entire back window?

Ag products stacked in the bed, and steel pipe up on the racks. We use hitch mount removable racks + headache racks for loading 14' sections.
Not sure if it's allowed (kind of shameless plug), but this is what we sell and deliver with our trucks: https://www.amadorbarnowlbox.com/shop/barn-owl-houses-and-accessories

Not sure I would use a raptor for your use case.

I think this guy should have got a Superduty and $235 for a bird house!!

I think those are some pretty cool habitats. Knowing the proper dimensions to attract specific classes of raptor or bird is no small feat. One would be hard put to build one as nice as your company does, especially for the price. I know how much building materials cost these days and then add labor and delivery. WOW.

Thanks! Materials are crazy now. We've had some great successes with our design and our products are 10+ year in service life (the productivity & cost formula works well).

We do a lot of consulting in hard to reach places. We've sunk the F350 long bed couple times. One of our favorite customers has 4 Raptors for his commercial farming operations, that partially influenced me getting one.

But how do you get Raptors into the box?



Mine barely fits in a commercial parking garage...
