If it cant be carried in the car and it cant be carried on the roof or an extra tank, then I would suggest your options are a tad limited
What other options could there possibly be? Jerry cans in a trailer? not sure how much fuel you could legally carry in a trailer, I'm sure there are limitations

Right so you don't want the fuel inside.... I understand that
Your don't want the fuel outside.... I don't understand that 
If you don't want it inside or outside where the heck do you think you want it then
The only way is what Kingo suggested and that is to carry it in a trailer
The Prado 120 (same model as yours) sold in Australia, has an additional 93l tank (I think as standard), taking the total fuel capacity to 180l - this is bolted up underneath the car, and has to be the safest way - the fuel is stored low down so making everything more stable.

I think its a reasonably easy fit. I'm sure I saw an importer - can't remember who.
Not a 120, but look at this: http://www.overlandinthesun.com/index.php?...r&Itemid=34
If you wanted to keep the cost down, have a look round a scrapyard for something which can be strapped up to the chassis rails at the back - perhaps one from a transit - they tend to be square and flat.

I think I will go for some thing along these lines

There are several sizes to pick from.
Then just some simple brackets from the chassis rails.
