Because this hybrid headache rack features twin louvered side inserts housed inside heavy-gauge 2-inch square HRPO steel tubing, it protects vulnerable outer glass corners from shifting bed payloads while retaining direct sightlines through the sliding rear window glass. As noted by commercial truck outfitters, half-louvered configurations deliver targeted side-impact deflection and sun shading without restricting driver rearward vision or rear window access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to resist harsh winter road chemical exposure and aggressive salt spray, the BACKRACK 149LV undergoes an e-coat immersion process followed by a thermoset black powder-coat layer to eliminate corrosion in concealed welds. The upper crossbar extends slightly above the truck cab line to create a stable anchor platform for transporting ladders, lumber, and long materials safely. Designed to install into factory bed rail stake pockets using vehicle-specific mounting hardware kits (sold separately), this cab guard requires no drilling on most truck applications and integrates cleanly with select folding tonneau covers, crossover toolboxes, and auxiliary lighting brackets. Ships direct across Canada and the USA with zero duties, no surprise brokerage fees, and full domestic fulfillment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification Parameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngineering Value \/ Detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number (MPN)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e149LV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStore Inventory SKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBKHJ_149LV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Inch Heavy-Gauge HRPO Square Steel Tubing (.100 Wall)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Steel Side Louvers with Open Center Window Section\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \u0026amp; Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-Stage E-Coat Dip \u0026amp; Corrosion-Resistant Black Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Method\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStake Pocket Anchorage (Requires Vehicle-Specific Mounting Kit Sold Separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrilling Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% No-Drill Installation on Most Standard Pickup Beds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonneau Cover Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible via Optional BACKRACK Tonneau Adapter Brackets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToolbox Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible via Optional 21-Inch or 31-Inch Toolbox Adapter Brackets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctional Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Window Glass Protection, Cab Sun Shading, Overhead Cargo Transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-Year Manufacturer Workmanship Warranty \/ Structural Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChevrolet Silverado 1500 \/ GMC Sierra 1500:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 (Includes Classic, LD \u0026amp; LTD models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChevrolet Silverado 2500HD\/3500HD \u0026amp; GMC Sierra 2500HD\/3500HD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFord F-150:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 (Includes Lightning \u0026amp; Raptor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToyota Tundra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNissan Titan \/ Titan XD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is the Half Louver Rack frame ONLY.
