## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent inexpensive option
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024*

Fits my 2015 Ram 1500 well. Needed to drill holes for installation a little further back than was ideal but that’s because of the bed design of the truck. The rack has worked well so far. Was easy to install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very Well Built & Durable
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019*

I have had this headache rack for 3 years and 6 months and installed on 2 different trucks. (98 Sierra 2500 & 08 Silverado 2500) It is still in great shape, with the only rust near the bottom, as pictured. It is well built and has taken a beating but is holding up well. Let's put it this way, I have seen other more popular and expensive brands rust after not even one year.My only gripe is the width between the bed rails. If it would be an inch wider, my oversize WeatherGuard toolbox would fit perfectly, but I still give the rack 5 starts all around because it has proven over and over how well its built, as well as the quality of the finish. If I needed a second rack, I would purchase the Aries again.

    Good Value
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023*

This cab protector is ruggedly built, for the most part, and good value for the money.  It has a design flaw that can be corrected at the time of installation and I provide a fix for that flaw later in the review.  I got this protector for a beat up 2002 Silverado 1500 4WD that we mainly use for hauling firewood.  After replacing the rear window twice due to misdirected firewood, I decided to install a window protector.  Looks are unimportant on this old dented up truck but it is a nice-looking rack.  Keep in mind this is a universal protector and do not expect it to simply bolt on.  If you want one custom built for a specific make and model, expect to spend several times as much money on it.The problem encountered on the Silverado is that the front factory bolt hole was right over the side of the stake cavity in the bed and it was impossible to locate a bolt there (see second photo).  I had to drill a new hole and locate the front bolt, which you can see in the first figure, well behind that point in order to get to the bolt on the underside.  That in itself is no big deal but for some reason they put a notch in the bar alongside the front hole which creates a very weak spot in the mounting bar as can be seen in the second photo.  If you mounted it only as shown in the first photo and you, for example, tied down a load with a ratchet strap hooked to the top of the rack, you would simply bend the whole rack backwards with it bending at the weak point.  Even if you were able to use the front factory bolt hole, there would still be a weak point there.  I drilled a new hole in front of the front factory hole at a location that allowed me to use a J-bolt to connect through the stake cavity in the bed to the tie down hole in the side of the stake cavity as shown in the third photo.  In retrospect, I probably did not need the added hole for the bolt to the bed shown in the first photo.The J-bolt connection helped a little bit with weak point in the bar, but not much.  I figured it was just a matter of time until someone pulled really hard backwards on the rack and bent the mounting bar badly.  My fix is shown in the fourth photo.  I added a brace on each side.  I made it out of 1"x1"x1/8" angle iron bolting it to the mounting bar and the rack.  With this addition, I believe I now have a very rugged frame that should outlast the truck.  The only tools required to make the brace were a drill, a hacksaw, and a vice and the angle iron can be purchased at most any hardware store, so most anyone can do it.  I strongly recommend it.  By-the-way, I am a licensed mechanical engineer with many years of experience and know a thing or two about designing structures of this nature but I think the weakness would be obvious to most backyard mechanics as well, so it is a little surprising that it was not corrected in the factory design.I should also point out that the "louvers" on the protector are not very sturdy.  They should be fine for light or soft items that might otherwise hit the window but they are not going to hold up to hard impacts (e.g. being hit with a piece of thrown firewood).  For applications where it might take some hard impacts, I recommend cutting out a piece of 1/2" or thicker plywood to place on the rack to protect it.  With that addition, it should be ready for some rugged heavy-duty use, which it will get on my truck.All-in-all, I think it is a good rack for the money as long as you understand you may have to do a bit of work and adapting to install it.
