the factory roof rack is very sturdy. I used 3 bikes on my roof. I had no problem even in highway speed. just make sure that it's secure enough. I have the sr5 2005 model.

I'm eyeballing expensive Yakima and Thule roof-rack systems, but I wonder why I can't just mount the bike carriers directly on the factory cross-braces? Is anyone doing that? It would certainly save money and have less components to mess with. Surely they can handle the weight of three bikes, no?
2005 Sport, by the way.
