Default Drawing a blank on an item for my truck

Ok, Im drawing a blank...I see a number of trucks that have the "Metal Guard/Screeen wire" mounted behind cab at the head of the bed. I see them mostly on trucks that tow...
What do you call those things and where can you get them???

I need to mount an antenna or two and dont want to drill holes in my cab but want them up over the cab.. This would be the best solution so i dont need anything heavy duty...
thanks

They be called "Cabguards" or "headache racks" most truck accessory shops/stores will have a selection to chose from.

You can get them from numerous places. Look around and some people bulid them. This is the one I have, it is made by Texas Tuff. www.unlimited-texastuff.com. I am very happy with mine. The main reason i got mine is for more roof support.

Go with a PRO TECH headache rack, they are made of aluminum and look very nice. Squirtbottles rack is nice but made of steel and u can see how it weighs his truck down to the point where it almost looks stuck (j/k squirt) But seriously Check out the pro techs, they are sweet!

Thanks guys. I never would have guessed a "Headache Rack" but thats what I'm looking for. I wasn't expecting them to cost so much though but oh well, improved signal strength is worth it...
Jeez, we can talk ouselves into most anything on these trucks...

Don’t forget some call them bang boards. Don’t ask me why some use that name they just do!
