    I’m thinking about buying this headache rack and installing to a 2016 T680. Haven’t bought it yet. What do you think it’s worth and can two people install this? Overall it’s in good condition

    The right person can install it themselves. They're not really all that heavy, just awkward. Your biggest issue will be getting the U-bolts in and tight enough. Dont forget to put a piece of rubber between it and the frame on both sides.
    New they're $2800-3500, so I'd offer 15. If he has a different price in mind, haggle.

    Yeah, right now we are at 1600.00. They’re pretty standard fit right? I’ve got a 2016 KW t680

    Frame rails are fairly standard. If you have any doubts, just measure the inside width of your rails and the uprights on the rack.

    If your going to put tarps in there make sure it’s deep enough.
