GearUp Cargo Rack Headache Rack Kit

The GearUp Headache Rack Kit adds a vertical barrier behind the rear seat of your Jeep Wrangler JL, creating a clean divide between passengers and cargo. On rough trails and hard stops, that barrier keeps loose gear from migrating into the cabin — a simple, practical upgrade for anyone who hauls tools, recovery gear, or camp kit in the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a headache rack do here?
It puts a barrier behind the rear seat so cargo stays in the cargo area instead of sliding into the passenger space over bumps and hard stops.

Does it require the base GearUp rack?
Yes. It is an add-on module that mounts to the Artec GearUp Rear Cargo System; it is not a standalone product.

Which Jeep does it fit?
It is designed for the Jeep Wrangler JL platform (2018-present).

Can I still adjust the rack after adding it?
Yes. It preserves the GearUp system's adjustable, modular layout, so you can reconfigure shelves and panels around it.
