Posted By: 30338 Headache racks, suggestions? - 08/01/19
Wanting to protect my rear truck window from atv rolling into it. Toyota Tundra 2015. Any suggestions on who makes a quality rack to protect rear window? Not a welder so making my own is out.
B&W makes some...
Protech, Vancouver, WA. Bought a dozen over the years. From pick up to Peterbilts. Great stuff.
I put 4x4 across back of my tacoma bed it keeps ATV from reaching the rear window.........
My Polaris RZR rides against the top of the bed rail on my Dodge so it never reaches the cab. What makes contact is plastic. I do have to run the winch out a couple inches so the hook doesn't hit, though.

Low tech, I may try that. Otherwise checking out those other options. The Rubicon seems to sit higher than my old Rancher did.

Had a Back Rack on three different trucks, since 2006. Still looks as good as the day it went on the first truck. I've hauled lumber, pipe, extension ladders and all sorts of long stuff on that rack, since. Since all three trucks had a plastic tailgate cap, no issues on that end, plus I have a huge stash of assorted rubber "bungies"..

Only complaint, the bottom cross bar should've been positioned higher on the vertical bars, because it interferes with my roll up bed cover. Shimmed up the mounting plates with three pieces I cut out of an old "big truck" mud flap and made longer J bolts to fasten the rack in the bed pockets..
Highway products, pricey but some of the highest quality.
