Thule makes bars that fit your 4Runner w/o a factory roof rack installed. They also make baskets to mount to the bars.

Wilderness also makes baskets that will fit Thule bars. All in all, not the cheapest solution but it sure beats drilling holes in your roof.

4x4connection.com sells the wilderness racks that mount to the Thule bars.

Buy these brackets:
Wilderness Roof Rack Universal Thule & Yakima Mounting Brackets

and one of these baskets:

Welcome to 'Mud!

Here's a few pictures of my Yakima mounts. The bar holds tension on the mounts.

The mounts are probably do-able, but might be a serious pain. I'd say buy a good rack setup like War suggested and build your own basket. I've been thinking of doing one for mine, actually.

I went to a junk yard , found a wrecked 2nd gen. and took the roof rack off that, since my 95 didn't come with one , and i think i will try to make my own basket for it.

A friend of mine used the rails from a land cruiser 90 series. It made quite a difference, more modern look.

I'm not gonna have the basket done for awhile . I working on getting it lifted right now. the basket won't be anything special. I'm probablly gonna make it out of wood that way i won't be spending alot of $$$$ on something i don't like.

Hey I just came across with this thread and I know it's an old one but I'll give my opinion any way.

Maybe you can use a universal mount and pair it with a crossbars you could find and do some little DIY and you got yourself a roof rack.

I'm not sure if there's still a 2nd gen roof rack available in the market right now but I'll let you know if I see one.

Thank you for the reply but sadly I sold the 95 MANY years, about 10 truck/SUV's/ and cars since. It was super mint and I should have held on to it.
