If you’re looking to get even more versatility and load-handling capability out of your Weather Guard truck rack, the Model 1290-52-01 Cross Member is the perfect accessory to elevate your setup. Designed exclusively for the 1275-52-02 full-size truck rack, this steel cross member gives you the flexibility to safely carry shorter or mixed-length materials while maintaining stability and balance on the rack. For contractors, tradespeople, and truck owners who demand dependable performance from their automotive accessories, this add-on offers convenience, durability, and ease of use—all without requiring any drilling.
The cross member installs using the same quick-release pin system featured on the rack’s rear bar, making setup fast and simple. When you’re transporting smaller items—like compact ladders, lumber, conduit, or equipment cases—the additional support helps keep everything secure and well-positioned. And when it’s not needed, you can conveniently store it above the cab on the rack itself. Finished in a sleek Matte Black ARMOR TUF Powder Coat, this component resists rust, scratches, and the harsh outdoor environment to ensure long-lasting dependability.
