About Me

Bio

Hi - I’m Jamie. I’ve worked in construction my entire life. I’ve been with the same construction company since I started my apprenticeship in January of 1999. In that time I’ve had a lot of trucks. Up until 2020, I’d always had older trucks with straight tailgates that were solid metal right up to the top - I’d carried countless loads of lumber, ladders, scaffold, recreational items, etc. I’d always loaded them on my tailgate without a second thought. In 2020 I sold my 2005 Power Wagon and bought a 2013 Ram 1500. I quickly realized that with the curved tailgate, it was going to be really tough to tie anything down. The first thing I tied down was an extension ladder and I crushed the plastic cap on the top of the tailgate.

 

I started thinking about how I could solve this. I didn’t want a tall rear rack, plus every rack I could find would interfere with opening my tonneau cover. I knew I needed a rack that would be low profile, but would sit back far enough that my folding tonneau cover could still open. It needed to be the right angle so I could still open the tailgate when I had something tied on to the headache rack. It would need to be easily removable so I could still load tall items when I needed to. And most importantly, I love my trucks, so it would have to look good.

 

 

Being a carpenter by trade, and wood being cheaper than steel, I started experimenting with different templates made up from wood to get everything in the right place before working on the steel version. Once I had the final product on my truck, I found I couldn’t live without it! I was constantly stopped at lumberyards or wherever I was by people asking where they could get one.

 

 

 

I ended up doing a renovation for a very successful entrepreneur who talked me into selling them. He mentored me and set me up with a top notch patent lawyer. So I built myself a small fab shop on the back of my house, loaded up with metal tools and started making them so other people could have them too. 

Thanks very much,

Jamie
