Has anyone mounted an Autohome Overland to their flat/prinsu type rack? I am concerned about being able to get my hands underneath the tent to remove and put on the cover. Is it even possible? I would use mounting feet to attach the rtt to the crossbars but that only gains me an additional inch of clearance. Thoughts?

I used an old FrontRunner rack to mount my Columbus to my UZJ100. It is very low profile and was a bit of a PITA to get all attachment point nuts and washers installed and tightened due to how close the rack sits to the roof. Two things that helped me: Raise and support the rack to get hardware in place and tightened. And I used a long handle SnapOn 1/4" drive ratchet wrench. The FrontRunner stainless steel towers stress cracked (not a good design IMHO) which got swapped out for low profile composite RhinoRack towers which have worked out perfectly.
I don't need to remove & reattach the Columbus; thankfully.
