The ARIES Switchback headache rack is an aggressive, off-road-style truck headache rack that features rust-free construction, an LED-compatible top edge and a patented installation system -- all to make sure your truck not only stands out on the road, but also has the backbone to tackle the trail. The Switchback truck headache rack is built with all-aluminum construction, meaning you will never have to worry about rust. Aluminum offers solid strength while helping to keep your truck lightweight. The aluminum alloy is also protected with a highly durable carbide black powder coat finish that maximizes corrosion resistance and adds a sleek finishing touch. The Switchback is built to readily accept aftermarket lighting. Its top edge is a slotted channel that accepts LED light bars or work lights. Three 10" LED light bars (ARIES #1501260) are recommended. The slotted channel allows for easy installation of the lights and adjustable positioning. Installing the ARIES Switchback aluminum headache rack couldn't be easier with our patented mounting system. It features unique stake pocket anchors that requires no drilling or complicated procedures. Simply drop it in, tighten a single bolt on each side, and you're ready to hit the trails. The Switchback also features a three-piece assembly, making it easier to ship, and allowing you to mount the headache rack without the center section for easy access to the rear cab window. Each ARIES Switchback headache rack is designed for vehicle-specific installation for a custom fit. This particular model fit specific years of the Toyota Tundra (see application info to verify fitment). Brackets and mounting hardware are included.

Yes, the ARIES 1110115 Switchback Black Aluminum Truck Headache Rack Cab Protector, Select Toyota Tundra (Part #BBDR1110115) is designed to fit the 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra.
The ARIES 1110115 Switchback Black Aluminum Truck Headache Rack Cab Protector, Select Toyota Tundra (Part #BBDR1110115) fits the following vehicles: 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The ARIES 1110115 Switchback Black Aluminum Truck Headache Rack Cab Protector, Select Toyota Tundra (Part #BBDR1110115) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes three headache rack sections (driver/left, passenger/right, and center/middle), one center mesh panel, two stake pocket clamps, eight M8 hex bolts (1.25 x 25mm), eight M8 hex flange lock nuts, two M14 hex bolts (2.0 x 80mm), two M14 flat washers, two M14 lock washers, and eight adhesive wire ties.
The manual does not specify which vehicle models or bed lengths are compatible with this headache rack. The product is designed for truck beds equipped with stake pockets. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
No. The headache rack is designed to mount using stake pocket clamps that fit into the stake pockets on the truck bed rails. A truck must have stake pockets for this product to be installed.
Required tools are: ratchet, 13mm socket, 22mm socket, utility knife, flathead screwdriver, 13mm open end wrench, and needle nose pliers. A work table or flat surface is also needed for assembly.
Yes. Step 6 explicitly states 'With assistance, hold the assembled headache rack in position over the stake pockets.' The manual also notes to 'place something between the headache rack and the cab of the truck or find assistance while inserting and tightening the rack down.' A second person is required during the positioning and installation phase.
Lay the three sections face down on a flat surface to align and assemble them. Later, place the assembled headache rack on a work table with the slotted ends hanging off the sides of the table to attach the stake pocket clamps.
1. Remove stake pocket covers and plugs from the truck bed. 2. Lay the driver, passenger, and center sections face down on a flat surface. 3. Decide whether to install the center mesh or leave the center open. 4. Align the four mounting holes on the driver and passenger sections with the four holes on each side of the center section. 5. Loosely assemble using eight M8 x 25mm hex bolts and eight M8 hex flange lock nuts, inserted from the inside. 6. Tighten all hardware to 15 ft-lbs. 7. Place the assembled rack on a work table with slotted ends hanging off. 8. Attach the M14 bolts, lock washers, and flat washers through the slots to the stake pocket clamps. 9. Position the rack over the stake pockets, squeeze the clamps closed, lower them into the pockets, and slide the rack to the desired centered location. 10. Tighten the M14 bolts carefully.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate and remove the plastic stake pocket covers from both the driver and passenger sides. The manual notes that some vehicles have removable covers and cutting is not necessary, while others may require cutting.
Only if they interfere with the stake pocket clamps. Step 2 states that not all vehicles have a plug to remove, and removal is only necessary if it interferes with the stake pocket clamps. If present, use a flathead screwdriver to push in the tab and remove the plug.
The choice is yours. Step 3 states: 'Determine if you wish to install the center mesh or leave the center open.' The center mesh is included in the kit, but installation is optional based on your preference.
Lay the driver-side, passenger-side, and center sections face down on a flat surface. Align the four mounting holes on the outside driver and passenger sections with the four holes on each side of the center assembly. Loosely insert eight M8 x 25mm hex bolts from the inside with eight M8 hex flange lock nuts. Ensure the assemblies are aligned properly, then fully tighten all hardware to 15 ft-lbs.
Place the assembled headache rack on a work table with the slotted ends hanging off the sides. Insert an M14 bolt, M14 lock washer, and M14 flat washer through each slot and attach to the stake pocket clamp. The clamp should hang down off the bottom of the headache rack. Repeat for the passenger side. Before installation, check that the clamp hooks fully open on both sides of the stake pocket; if not, bending of the tabs may be required using needle nose pliers.
With assistance, hold the assembled headache rack in position over the stake pockets. Squeeze the stake pocket clamps to a closed position, lower them into the stake pockets, and slide the headache rack into the desired location, ensuring it is centered on the vehicle. Place something between the headache rack and the cab or find assistance while inserting. Carefully tighten the M14 hex bolts. As the clamps tighten, they will expand in the stake pocket and pull up to the top of the bed rail. Ensure the clamp is fully expanded beyond the opening in the bed rail before fully tightening.
Bending of the tabs may be required. The manual shows this in Step 5 and notes that needle nose pliers may be needed to remove the clamp from the stake pocket to perform the bending.
M8 bolts should be tightened to 7 ft-lbs according to the general torque specifications table. However, Step 4 specifically states that the eight M8 x 25mm hex bolts used to assemble the three sections together should be tightened to 15 ft-lbs, which overrides the general specification for this application.
The manual does not provide a specific torque value for the M14 bolts used to attach the stake pocket clamps. Step 7 states to 'carefully tighten the M14 hex bolts' and to 'only tighten the clamps enough to eliminate movement in the headache rack and fully compress the lock washer.' Overtightening may damage the bed rail and void the warranty. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for the recommended torque specification.
Wax the product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For polished, gloss, and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Mild automotive detergent may be used to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, or similar products that may damage the finish.
Overtightening the M14 clamp bolts may result in damage to the bed rail and void the warranty. Only tighten the clamps enough to eliminate movement in the headache rack and fully compress the lock washer.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval. Regular waxing is recommended to protect the finish. See the Notes and Maintenance section for cleaning and protection guidance.
The headache rack is designed for truck beds with stake pockets. The manual does not list specific vehicle models or bed lengths. Contact ARIES at 877.287.8634 or ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM to confirm fitment.
Ratchet, 13mm and 22mm sockets, utility knife, flathead screwdriver, 13mm open end wrench, and needle nose pliers. A work table is also needed.
Yes. The manual requires assistance to hold the headache rack in position over the stake pockets and to help while inserting and tightening it down.
The eight M8 x 25mm bolts that assemble the three sections together should be tightened to 15 ft-lbs, not the standard 7 ft-lbs listed in the general torque table.
No. Overtightening may damage the bed rail and void the warranty. Tighten only enough to eliminate movement and fully compress the lock washer.
Wax after installation and regularly thereafter. Use only mild automotive detergent for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners, wire brushes, dish detergent, or abrasive wax, as these damage the finish.
