Headache Racks, Cab Protectors, & Accessories

Headache racks, also known as cab protectors, are essential accessories for pickup trucks, providing protection for both the truck’s cab and its occupants. Mounted behind the cab, they act as a barrier against shifting cargo, debris, and impacts that could otherwise damage the vehicle or pose a safety risk. In addition to their protective function, headache racks and cab protectors can enhance the truck's aesthetics and can be tailored to specific needs, making them a practical and customizable addition for many truck owners.


There are several types of headache racks and cab protectors, each designed to suit different preferences and purposes. Louvered racks feature angled slats that provide both protection and improved airflow, while also reducing wind drag. Mesh racks offer durability with a lighter appearance, using cross-hatched bars or wire mesh for a solid barrier and enhanced visibility. Specialty racks are often custom-built with added features, such as integrated toolboxes or reinforcement for heavy-duty use, catering to specific work needs or industries. Standard racks offer a basic, cost-effective solution for essential protection, while window cut racks have a cut-out section to allow for greater visibility or access to the rear window, ideal for truck owners who prioritize rear-view visibility. Each type provides different levels of protection, style, and functionality, allowing truck owners to choose the rack that best fits their needs.
