I got the entire sub frame fabricated to mount the Inti roof rack. I found a flaw in the Rack itself. Whoever made it in Venezuela made the rear most cross member a bit too short. So the rack is the same width from the front, through the middle, and then tapers slightly towards the back end. I found this when I set the Inti on top of my SQUARE sub frame. So..... that is another issue to deal with. Not that big of a deal, but I found it interesting.
I decided that I am going to weld plates to the side of the sub frame, and bolt the rack frame to those plates. The rack frame will sit right down on top of the sub frame, between the mounting plates. In turn, the rack will be bolted right to the sub frame via 12 bolts (3/8") with Nylock nuts toward the inside. I thought I would be done today. Not the case..... However, a good job often takes time.
