Question:

I'm wanting to use a roof tent on my 2022 Outback Wagon but I have the OEM crossbars and I'm seeing that the roof tent people say I can't use the OEM crossbars. What roof rack do I need to do this?

I'd be more than happy to help!

To utilize a rooftop tent, like the Yakima SkyRise HD # Y07437, you'll actually need to remove your factory rack and replace it with an aftermarket kit. I really like the Yakima JetStream roof racks because they are not only great quality, but the legs have adjustments in them to ensure that you get the best fit possible. For this setup you'll need the following:

50" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00425
SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR
Landing Pad 27 - # Y46VR
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)

I'm attaching the instructions for the fit kit so you can see the steps you'll need to take to remove and replace your OEM crossbars.
