Ultra-Tough Protection. Dual Molle Panels. 100% USA-Made Aluminum.
The Rear Window Armor You Asked ForYou asked, and we delivered. The Leitner Designs HeadBANGER is the heavy-duty rear window guard designed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with our ACS Forged bed rack system. Whether you are hauling lumber, gear, or equipment, the HeadBANGER provides the ultimate barrier between your cargo and your truck’s glass.
This isn't just a protector; it’s a functional upgrade. Built for construction crews, municipalities, and off-roaders alike, it offers peace of mind when stacking loads above the truck bed height.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Shifting loads or tall cargo can easily shatter expensive rear windows, leading to costly repairs and downtime.
The HeadBANGER Solution: 3/16" thick USA-made aluminum protection that installs in minutes and doubles as a Molle mounting surface for your gear.
Key Features: Why the HeadBANGER Leads the Pack
Easy bolt-on installation that takes about 30 minutes. All high-quality fasteners are included to get you back on the road fast.
Features two integrated Molle panel sections, allowing you to attach medical kits, tools, or tactical accessories directly to the guard.
100% manufactured from 3/16" thick USA-made aluminum. It’s incredibly strong yet won't rust like cheap steel alternatives.
Designed specifically to fit the ACS Forged, ACS Tonneau, or ACS No Drill/No Slide bed racks perfectly.
An essential accessory for construction works and municipalities that require rear window protectors for safety compliance.
We use the best hardware: Grade 10.9 black Zi-Ni coated fasteners for maximum strength and corrosion resistance.
Engineered ExcellenceThe HeadBANGER is more than just a metal plate. It is a precision-engineered safety device. By using a dual-stage powder coat over zinc plating, we ensure that your investment looks as good as it performs for years to come, regardless of the weather.

"I work in construction and constantly have materials stacked up to the roofline. I’ve broken one rear window before, and it was a $600 mistake. The HeadBANGER took 20 minutes to bolt onto my ACS Forged rack, and it feels solid as a rock. The Molle panels are a huge bonus for mounting my fire extinguisher and first aid kit."
- Mike S., General Contractor Safety & Installation NoteProfessional Protection: The HeadBANGER is designed specifically for Leitner ACS racks. Ensure all Grade 10.9 fasteners are torqued according to the instructions to maintain structural integrity during heavy load transport.

No. The HeadBANGER is manufactured from 100% USA-made aluminum and features a dual-stage powder coat over zinc plating. Unlike steel guards, it is highly resistant to corrosion and rust.
The HeadBANGER is designed with strategic cutouts to maintain as much visibility as possible while providing maximum protection. Most users find that rearview visibility remains functional for daily driving.
The HeadBANGER is engineered specifically to integrate with the geometry of Leitner ACS Forged, Tonneau, and No Drill bed racks. We do not recommend or support installation on non-Leitner rack systems.
It's a play on the fact that this guard takes the "bangs" from your gear so your truck doesn't have to. It's the ultimate line of defense for your cab's rear glass.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
