headache rack
Ive had a couple different ones this is the first one I had but I couldnt keep lumber on it i needed the side posts so i had to get the one that I have now. They have saved my back window so many times that they have paid for themselves many times over......

The purpose of a headache rack is to prevent any objects carried in the bed of a truck from shifting and going thru the rear window. They also allow for the transporting of long pieces of lumber without damaging the roof. Some people will use the rack as a purchase for forward and rear facing off road running lights... I hope this answers your question.

It is really easy to make one if you have a welder and the skills. I knew how much metal I needed before I even went to the store.
