Headache Rack?

[getoffmylawn]

HI, anyone find a headache rack to fit the Maverick yet? I'm kinda nervous about really using the bed without one.

I see this universal one that looks like it might be able to be modified to work. I don’t have my maverick yet so I can’t measure to see if it’ll fit or not. But I’m thinking of cutting off the upper cross bar just a couple of inches above the screen, turning the mid rail into the top rail, and seeing if it will work with the truxedo eleavate ts rails. https://www.discountramps.com/apex-aluminum-adjustable-headache-rack/p/HA-RACK-ALUM/
Not 100 percent sure it’ll work. But looks like it might be close.

So after getting my backflip cover and the elevate ts rails, I was able to do some measurements and went with this universal headache rack

It just arrived today and I put it on with leaving the top cross bar off. Sorry for the low light it arrived while I was at work and I installed it right when I got home. I’m excited that it fits really well. I personally like the style/look and putting a stick of pvc conduit in the back shows that if you put any lumber or conduit or similar material In the bed against the tailgate the angle will barely clear the antenna which is what I wanted.

Now I just need to find something to cover the holes in the top while I don’t have the cross bar on it so water doesn’t get inside. I’m thinking of maybe putting expansion foam Inside and painting it black with spray paint.
