hahaha i tried for that too... seems to be very popular@marcuslx470 LOL at your plate. I tried to get "UR MOM" and DMV rejected it.
The screws are unlikely to create a waterproof seal between themselves and the A-pillar. And that's before the holes start rusting out because the threads removed paint/primer. . . the proper rivets have plastic caps so they do seal.
Mine had a PO-era windshield replacement and had freaking screws. I removed the screws, rubbed touch-up primer around in the holes generously (felt too lazy to remove the trim fully, though probably should've just done it), and then riveted with the right rivets. There are a number of threads on this.
To Safelite or Not? Windshield Replacement.
Good installers probably started at a big shop. The guy I use worked at a big shop, but he had enough cutting corners trying to be the lowest price. Insurance isn't going to want to replace all the moldings and will want to use the cheapest piece of glass that can be found. If a molding gets...

Windshield Trim Question
So I did a ton of searches here and on google and got a ton of information but I am still not getting one thing so I wanted to ask... A few weeks back I started getting this rattle or noise that would come and go. I tracked it down to the driver side windshield trim. From the reading i have...

Rusty A-Pillar Behind Windshield Trim
As some of you may know, I recently got the front windshield replaced along with all the trim to get rid of the super pitted glass and crazy-stupid-jokerific install of the previous windshield. Once the glass techs pulled the glass and trim I found a nasty little rash hidden under the trim...

Had a slight run in with a fence post... Fortunately, the bumper and molding took the brunt of it. I think I can pop the dent out from inside the wheel well.
Oh well, I guess it matches the pinstripes I've already added.

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?
Ordered a Tough Dog kit (springs, shocks, diff drop, UCAs) for our old LX from Trail Tailor. With some mild arm twisting, I was also talked into ordering some Trail Tailor sliders.
I was debating ordering some replacement leather for the front seats, but decided that we could get by on some SOR Tuff Duck seat covers for a while, so I ordered a set for the front seats.
If I get ordered to telecommute for work, due to the coronavirus scare, I'll have some minor projects to work on during the breaks

Continuing with the program of not getting much useful done, I re-completed my 8020 roof rack and fairing adornment. And a little nose jewelry.

Picks of rack? I've been interested in using 8020 for cross bars, keeping things stock otherwise.
Mud flap delete and replace courtesy of @LandCruiserPhil. Really simple, easy mod that looks great serves a functional purpose.
I’ve added more pictures To my original post. There is a thread that discusses exactly what you are considering (Get more from your factory roof rack with t-slotted aluminum (8020)). I went the extra distance because I wanted to be able to fit full sheets of plywood on top and carry pole tools up there conveniently. So my rack is 48.5” wide. After a trip to Home Depot to pick up wood for my son, I can attest that it’s quiet up to 50 mph. Without the fairing it was noisy. I’m also considering decking it, but will live with it as is for a while.
i started thinking backwards as to what else I would want to do before that and my mind went to the condition of the fresh air intake at base of windshield. So I am working mine overaccorsing to this video, very helpful:
Installed a Pure Power high output 240 amp alternator along with 4 AWG positive and ground wire upgrade.
I reinforced the dead pedal. The plastic supports were only hanging on by a thread.
Some aluminum cut to length. Holes drilled, and some plastic trimmed. Probably stronger than new!

Got the Tbars reindexed and set for the new bumper, and wired up all the lights
What kind of voltage are you seeing after installing?
14.9 at cold start, then moves down to 14.3-14.6 depending on RPM. Very nice difference before i was in the high 13s and was topping off battery with charger.
