What is this called?

I'm not sure what that "cowling" behind the Cab is called. It reminds me of a Baja Rack...Does anybody know if such a critter is still made, if so where?

Baja racks are so cool. I wish they didn't take up so much bed room. Same issue I have with my roll bar.

Hijack over!

Now that's a Baja Rack!....I think I will look for a stylish headache rack or something that gives me a really cool look to set my lights on.

Lund indeed does not make the Racer Back anymore.
