Overhead gun rack

I had a Big Sky overhead rack in the back of my 2004 Super Cab. I took it out when I got my 2015 Super Cab. I have not tried to put it in yet but the over head portion looks different and there is an air big up there. Is it only in the front? Anyone put one in a 2015? Any issues?

When I took down the headliner in my '11 extended cab there were airbags only in the front corners. Don't know about the '15s.

Thanks, I think I will have to make some brackets to bolt to the short door latch. I saw pic of one that had done that.

I am not a gun nut of any sort but I really wish I lived some place where a post about a gun rack wasn't 1 out of a 1000 . I would love to be able to hang my 30:06 and 12 ga from my truck and hunt legally and not feel like some terrorist ......

That is the good thing about the overhead rack. I had a deputy talking to me one day at the window of my truck. He didn't even notice the AR hanging above my head. Thieves don't notice them up there either. They look at the floors and seats for signs of a weapon.

in NYC you can not own an airsoft gun (shoots plastic BB's) which a 12 year old can buy in any state. weapons have to be in a locked case, unloaded, in the trunk or not in the passenger area, bullets in a sepearate locked case.

O and Nj stopped selling BB guns over ten years ago. I can buy BB ammo at the stores but not the BB guns....... Doesn't make sense but o well, and don't get caught with a BB gun unless you have the correct identification.... My little cousin (14) was at the state woods about three hundred yards from his house with hiss BB gun in a soft zipper case walking back home from shooting some targets. Cop just happened to drive by pulled over made him get face down on the road and throw the gun case away from him. Cop unholstered his weapon and proceeded to make my underage cousin lay in the street. Cop opened case seen what it was and brought my cousin home where the local game warden was waiting and gave my uncle a ticket for letting a person use his gun who didn't have a firearms ID card..... Long story short after a few court dates and a good lawyer my uncle had everything throw out

Does NJ have any kind of concealed carry permits? The citizens here would be up in arms (no pun intended) if our second amendment rights we being policed like that. Sounds like you guys need to kick some politicians out of office and start over.

Geez, I can't imagine living in a place like that. Local LEO's will give a friendly wave to us local hunters if/when they drive by us as we head into the woods for a hunting outing.

I'm really interested to see some pics of the overhead rack if anyone has some handy.

That is one thing I love about Virginia. Open carry state for everything except fully automatics.
