California Residents: Proposition 65 Warning










































This rack makes my truck look like a $100K build. It’s in a whole different weight class when it comes to design and style, definitely not your typical rack system. It’s incredibly tough yet lightweight. Shipping took five days in transit, but it was absolutely worth the wait and money.
lightweight, no drill and looks fantastic. Best Rack
I first spotted this rack on a Traffic Management Ford truck and it just looked badass. The guy told me it was a BOSS Rack, and then I ended up seeing another one parked outside my work! that’s when I knew I had to get it. I honestly thought it was a sport rack, not a headache rack. I get a ton of compliments on my Silverado now, and I’m already thinking about adding a couple light bars to finish the look. Installation did take me about an hour but I was able to do it myself.
