Does anyone know what yakima q clips will fit on a 2010 4runner factory crossbar?

I have some circa 2001 yakima racks that still work :) and want to put them on my current ride.

There's no Q tower fit for the 5th gen 4R. You'll need a set of Railgrab towers to mount your Yakima Roundbars to the 4R's raised siderails.
 
While Yakima does list the Q-towers as an option for the 5th gen, I (and a few others) have found that the 3rd gen set up (Q62 clips) to be acceptable in mounting a crossbar over the front doors. It is NOT a perfect fit and the bar has slipped about an inch when driving into 60 mph headwinds at interstate speeds (extreme conditions for many/most drivers). However, the load you plan on carrying may add to the secureness of the bar. By that I mean, if you are carrying a sky box where it is securely fastened to the crossbars, it may help prevent that slippage. The load I was carrying in the conditions above was secured by homemade foam saddles and tiedown straps, so allowed a lot of push/slippage.

Here's a photo of the front bar set up.

In any case I think I'll just get a new ski rack. I found this one and it seems to get good reviews: Inno Grab Max Universal Mount Rooftop Ski...does any one have experience with the Inno racks?
