Turn a full-size service body into a real material hauler with the Weather Guard 1225 steel service body rack. This is a complete over-body rack kit, with legs, side rails and cross members, built to bolt onto full-size utility and service bodies rather than a standard pickup bed. It carries up to 1,000 pounds and wears a black ARMOR TUF powder coat that holds up to years of jobsite abuse. A tie-down bracket bolts wherever you need it, and a removable pin on the rear cross member lets you pull that bar to load long materials over the top.

Features
Built For Service and Utility Bodies The 1225 is designed to fit full-size service and utility bodies on work trucks, not a standard pickup bed. It rides above the body so you can haul ladders, pipe and long stock over the top while your compartments stay open for tools and parts.
Complete Rack Kit It ships as a complete kit with legs, side rails and cross members, so you get a full over-body rack in one box rather than piecing parts together. Everything is engineered to work as one structure for a clean, sturdy install.
1,000 lb Load Capacity The steel rack is rated for up to 1,000 pounds, real capacity for a work truck that hauls ladders, conduit, lumber and long material between jobs. Spread the load across the cross members and strap it down for the highway.
Black ARMOR TUF Finish A black ARMOR TUF powder coat wraps the steel to fight rust, chips and fading through years of outdoor jobsite use. It keeps the rack looking sharp on a professional work truck.
Tie-Down Bracket Bolts Anywhere The tie-down bracket bolts wherever you want it along the rack, so you can position your anchor point to match the load. That flexibility makes it easy to strap down odd lengths and keep them stable in transit.
Removable Rear Cross Member A removable pin on the rear cross member lets you pull that bar in seconds to load long materials over the back of the rack, then drop it back in. It makes loading pipe and lumber a lot easier on a tall service body.

Assemble the legs, side rails and cross members, set the rack onto the service body and align it to the body's mounting points, then secure it with the hardware per the Weather Guard instructions. Position the tie-down bracket where it best fits your typical load. Because the rack is large and heavy, use a second person for the lift and alignment. Follow the printed Weather Guard instructions for exact placement and torque, and re-check the fasteners after the first loaded drive.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
