I bought some 1/2" diameter all-thread (threaded rod). Then I drilled 1/2" holes through the lower bar evenly spaced and in the same place on the driver's side and passenger side of the rack. I cut a piece of the all-thread for each of the holes hat reach clear across the rack and threaded it through. I put a nut on each side and tightened them down being careful not to collapse the rack by tightening them too much. I effectively had my sub bracing now. I bought some 1/2" diameter air hose and cut it lengthwise down one side. I opened it up and put a piece of it over each rod to cover the sharp threads and dampen any rattling. I then cut some stainless steel expanded metal to fit across the sub bracing and make a platform. I used conduit clamps to secure the expanded metal to the sub bracing.
