Hi all,
Just thought I would post this as an idea if anyone is in the same situation. I had a Maggiolina RTT installed on my 02 4Runner using Thule square bars and home made towers (nothing I could find off the shelf that would allow me to clear my old garage door).
When I got the 100, I wanted to move the RTT across. I purchased Rhino-Rack towers for the 100 series, but kept the Thule bars in the RTT. The Thule bars fit perfectly on the towers using the Vortex bar fit kit that came with the towers. All I had to do is to drill 6 holes on the bottom of the Thule bars.
My kit did not have the M6 square nuts, I just used standard Hex nuts inside the Thule bars and a 10mm wrench. A couple of pics below to illustrate what I tried to describe above.
