Also you can get a rack to put your tarps on top of.your headache rack. Also if there is enough room you can bolt small boxes to the bottom side of the chain tray. That would be perfect for straps and rachets.
The used truck parts place just south of Louisville had a ton of enclosed racks next to the highway last time I went past. Does anybody know the name of that place? Is it River City Truck Parts?

Doesn't TMC sell some of their old one's? Might check with them since you are going to lease onto them.
I was also wondering the same thing but fro the looks of it, its pipe that run through it. There is a Merritt brand one on there also in AL for 799 bucks. That to me would seem fair. 3 door fully enclosed as long as its as deep as the other one is so tarps can fit in it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Merritt-hea...her_Vehicle_Parts&hash=item2c7b24d552&vxp=mtr TMC last I heard from one of the O/Os there said they wanted like 2500 for one of the racks they have.
You need a brake press and shear besides a welder to make your own. I wouldn't want one that had every corner made out of a bead of weld.
its a unit from calif and CARB requirement for aerodynamics and increased mpg if youre still going to CALIF you better start drilling.
