Headache racks

Hey yall, i plan to build myself a headache rack in the near future and kinda know what i want. But i want to see some pictures of other peoples designs.

Im thinking of doing reverse lights as well as brake lights. And Probably 3 side facing amber lights on the vertical pieces.

Just post some pictures of what you have!

Somebody posted a pic on here a while back of a headache rack with stacks built into it. If you ever plan on doing stacks on your truck, you might consider doing it that way. It was pretty cool looking, but I can't find it. Maybe someone else on here saved that pic.

I like the protech design, but ive never liked em on our trucks, they just look a bit too tall for our back windows. I think they look better on Dodges IMO
