You will need 3 components to assemble a roof rack for your 2008 Scion xB. The first is fit kit, part # THKIT1482. Thes kit is a set of hardware designed to specifically fit yoru xB. It will also provide the base for the feet.

The Thule Traverse feet, part # TH480 then attach to the fit kit and lock on your roof. The feet provide the mounting location for the cross bars that run from passenger side to vehicle side. For your xB, you will need 58 inch load bars from Thule, part # THLB58.

With these three components, you will be able to completely assemble a roof rack on your xB for using bike racks or cargo boxes. Complete instructions will be included in the THKIT1482. I have added a link to a video of a similar kit being installed on a 2008 Acura RDX to give you an idea of the process.
