Framerails.
Run a stiff nylon brush along it till the water gushes out.

Search, monkey. Search.
One of the FAQs has a picture of where the slits in the rocker panels are that you need to clean out. Kinda tough to get to with running boards or sliders in place, but pretty easy to do.
If there's a lot of water, pull the rubber plug and let it all drain out. You'll get soaked, so pay attention when you pull it off. The water is from the sunroof drains ~ they empty into the rocker and drain through the tiny slits along the weld.
Search for sunroof drain slits should yield more reading than you want.
