Can you not remove the ladder rack?

My Ranger had a headboard and the S/H truckman top slid past the steel work.

I cut the ladder rack off and then painted the exposed metal

That is like cutting the stock down for a young lad then throwing the piece away so when he grows it is to short for him so you can't screw it back in place.

When I took it of I used colour match paint on it so you would never know and some models don't come with a rack on. The top I put on is never coming off it sealed so it doesn't leak.

It just makes more of a re-sale value with one on for the next owner who needs a truck with a ladder/head board.

Hope the OP finds something

The firm that made my aluminium canopy for my 71 plate hilux cut mine off when they fitted the canopy. No drama as could soon get an after market one fitted if it was ever needed.

always makes me sad to see a HL2 or Active Hilux with the ladder rack chopped off...
