FAQs: Guardian Headache Rack
1) What’s the difference between the Honeycomb and Guardian Headache Rack?
2) Can I get the Guardian in a polished finish?
A: Since the Guardian is made of heavyduty 3/16” aluminum, we only offer this product with a powder coat finish.
3) Can I mount a light bar to the top of the headache rack?
A: With the top horizontal bar being flat with access holes in the middle of the bar, the Guardian headache rack is perfect for mounting a light bar and routing the wires through the top bar.
4) Will this work with my tonneau cover?
A: Most likely you would need to modify your bed cover or the headache to make it work. Give us a call and we can take a look at your situation.
5) My truck has a 3rd brake light camera. Will this headache rack interefere?
A: Our Open Post and Open Mesh Guardian headache racks were specifically designed with your camera in mind. These headache racks also come with adjustability up and down so you can perfectly position it.
