Designing the sub-frame to be light enough, yet very strong was a key element. The rack itself weighs practically nothing- I can pick it up with one hand.

That's hilarious. Why the hell did you use 1/4" plate?? The INTI gutter mount uprights are no where near that thick.

It was convenient, for one. The plates must support up and down forces, and side to side forces. Besides, 1/4" thick steel plates aren't that outrageous- the Inti gutter mount uprights are just as heavy because they have a lot of extra reinforcements which will allow the thinner steel to do the job.

Well... let's see it !!!

Tried to stretch it a little for ya, but there aren't enough pixels to see detail on the rack.

How loud is it?

LandCruisers4Life · 05-12-08, 05:27 PM

Not that loud, to me anyway. I've been living with a Land Rover DII for 6 years with a roof rack, so I am kinda used to them. A little howling... not that much however.

I commented to my wife that people think it's heavy. It's really not, but she says (and I agree with her) that the sub-frame rail width, along with the width of the aluminum side rails of the rack makes it 'look' heavy.

LandCruisers4Life · 05-12-08, 05:31 PM

Oh and let me tell you.... that's a hell of a lot of rivets to install as well

I think I'll go throw some stuff up there.... 'just because I can' haha

Not currently on the truck, since it's my daily driver, but ready for an expedition:

Had the INTI for more than 10 years, already "refurbished" it once and added sand ladder mounts, a custom aluminum cargo box, antenna mounts, etc... Here's what it used to look like on the old truck:

So are these racks available? I thought that is was prohibitively difficult to get them out of Central America. Where do you get them from?

So what do one of these INTI racks run?

Less than an AO?

LandCruisers4Life · 05-12-08, 08:28 PM

Mine was $1265.00

Then I had to add stuff to make it work on my 100. Overall I got about $1600 in mine

LandCruisers4Life · 05-13-08, 12:26 PM

Wow... what a thing of beauty....

I had emailed him a while ago and he said that he couldn't get them any more. How recently have you guys bought them from him?

I didn't get mine from Alvaro, I brought mine directly from Venezuela back in '98.
