Weather Guard Full-Size Steel Truck Rack, 1,000 lb, Matte Black (1275-52-02)

Haul ladders, lumber, pipe and long loads over the cab and free up your whole bed with the Weather Guard 1275-52-02 full-size steel truck rack. This over-bed ladder rack is built from formed steel tubing, carries up to 1,000 pounds evenly distributed, and finishes in a tough matte black powder coat that shrugs off weather and jobsite wear. Adjustable front legs and a true no-drill stake-pocket mount let one rack fit full-size short and long beds without putting a single hole in your truck.

What's Included:

• Front cross member with welded airfoil wind deflector
• Two steel side rails with tie-down points
• Third steel cross member with removable rear pins
• Four adjustable steel legs
• No-drill stake-pocket mounting clamps and hardware
• No-drill installation kit for 2016 and newer Chevy and GMC trucks
• Weather Guard assembly and installation instructions

Features

1,000 lb Load Rating
The full-size steel rack carries up to 1,000 pounds evenly distributed, so it handles heavy extension ladders, bundles of lumber, pipe and conduit day after day. Formed steel tubing and welded joints give it the backbone to keep working under a full load.

True No-Drill Install
The rack clamps into your bed stake pockets with high-strength mounting hardware, so you never drill a hole in your bed rails. That protects your truck from rust and keeps the rack easy to remove or move to your next truck down the road.

Adjustable For Full-Size Beds
The front legs slide to match your bed length, giving one rack a universal fit across full-size short and long beds. Set it once to your truck and the crossbars line up right where you need them over the cab and tailgate.

Welded Airfoil Cuts Drag
A welded airfoil on the front cross member deflects wind up and over your load. That trims drag and cuts down the wind noise and buffeting you get from an open rack at highway speed.

Tie-Downs All Around
Every leg has a built-in tie-down loop and the side rails add four more anchor points, so you can strap loads down tight from multiple angles. Long, awkward loads stay put whether you are on the highway or a rough site road.

Matte Black Steel Build
Formed steel legs, rails and cross members wear a matte black powder coat that stands up to sun, salt and scrapes. Removable pins on the rear cross member let you pull that bar in seconds to drop in tall or bulky loads.

Installation

Assemble the four legs, two side rails and three cross members, set the rack into the bed, then seat and tighten the high-strength clamps in the stake pockets so nothing is drilled. On 2016 and newer Chevrolet and GMC trucks use the included no-drill kit. Slide the front legs to fit your bed length so the crossbars sit right over the cab, then load and strap using the leg loops and side-rail tie-down points. Follow the Weather Guard install instructions for clamp torque and placement, and re-check the clamps after the first loaded drive.
