got a headache rack for my truck, put the payment down yesterday so just waiting for the parts to come in, have the rack at the place I bought it at so can't wait to have it on my truck!!

 

I finally got those CREE backup bulbs! What a difference! I can see with the tinted windows up!

 

can't wait to see the rack on your bike Jaime. This build thread looks great.

Got the rack on and I just love it and the looks on my truck, makes it much nicer and even younger looking too!





Cool, glad to hear!!

 

Im slowly prepairing my truck for winter, also going to be looking into new tires (the rubbers) however im wondering would it be a good idea to upgrade to a different axle/wheels (the HD types with 8 lugs or what ever) now or should I just get the rubbers that I need? will be needing to replace all 4 though...also slowly trying to strip off the current paint and any rust off the frame and repaint the frame with fresh paint, but thinking I may have a professional body shop do this bit...thoughts and oppions and ideas?? thanks!!!

 

Hey Jaime,
Can you post a few pictures of your truck and rack from a distance? That is the rack I'm thinking of getting for my truck.
Thanks

 

sure it will be a day or so before I can take the picture as Ill be overnight out of town, but ill put one up when I get home tomorrow of the truck, Ill see if I have one on my phone also

got some pics, will be updating shortly once I get a chance, at work currently but will update when I go to lunch break

Looks good man,

Did you add lights to the rack? Or are they reflectors?

 

those are reflectors, the DOT ones, I figured they would be a good thing to have on the back/sides for extra visability.

 

Being seen is very important! Great idea with the DOT tape! Your truck is looking really sharp!

 

Thanks, do you have any ideas for the work/utility lights for the rack? Maybe additional s/t/t or at least t/t lamps?

 

No I don't. Are you wanting something for show, or function, or both? I know mounting them on top would make them more functional, but if you kept them below the top of the rack, I believe you would have less wind noise while traveling at highway speeds. Do you get much wind noise from the headache rack while on the highway?

 

This thread should be rated guys! I already did it.

 

Couple things to add.
If you run it at 150psi and have a regulator on the out line to 100psi then the higher tank pressure will hold the 100 psi longer at the discharge until the pressure get to the point the compressor needs to run again if that makes sense.

Most air tool are rated to run 90-100psi. Running higher pressure will cause them to wear out faster. And the air horns are designed to run at a certain pressure as well running too much will change the sound.
