I use Yakima Ski Racks. They fit in the rain gutters and are very versatile.

I have a factory opted Toyota one off my totaled 83 SR5. Let me know if you interested and I'll post a pick for you. I recommend the Yakima rack system. Much stouter and won't cause your roof to dent!

the rain gutter mounted rack will not leak either. And you can remove it when you do not need it, the rack noticalbly affects fuel economy at fwy speeds (all the little arrows get caught up in the rack and eat up fuel).
