Has anyone on here mounted a Yakima Skyrise rooftop tent to their Front Runner rack? I picked up a smoking deal on one this weekend at an REI garage sale only to learn that the clamps on the tent don't open wide enough to grab the crossbars on my Front Runner rack. Of course the guys at REI said to buy Yakima feet and crossbars to mount to my Front Runner. I have no interest in adding another 3"-5" of total height to the setup, or spending the extra couple hundred bucks for that matter.
My initial though is to buy the Tepui or CVT mounting rails and hardware kit to swap out the feet on the tent (see image below) and then used the Front Runner kit to mount it to the roof. Has anyone mounted this tent to their Front Runner rack? If so, please tell me which method you went with and how it worked out. I'd just like to get another opinion before I go throwing more money at it and chasing my tail.
