**Update**
I went to the hardware store and had them cut a new non-chip key for a few dollars. Obviously knowing this wouldn't start the car, but luckily after a few tries I was able to get it to turn the ignition! Turned it to ACC, popped the release button on the bottom of the cylinder, and...
As a follow-up to my post earlier this week (Key/ignition won't turn), my question today is if there is a way to remove the ignition cylinder without the key? I've read the many threads regarding ignition issues and watched the great youtube video of the step by step process to remove the...
How did/can you remove the cylinder if the key won't turn at all? I've read the threads and watched the youtube video, but since my key wont even turn the ignition to ACC, I am seemingly unable to remove the cylinder. Thoughts?

Hi friends. Been a year or two since I broke my Mud addiction...hope there have been some good tire threads in my absence :rofl:
Lots of water/condensation? dripping from the black box directly under the steering column...thoughts?
I've had issues with her before, and I've put way too much...
I'm getting ready to pack her up and relocate to MN, and trying to figure the best use of space. Has anyone squeezed a full or queen (or other) sized mattress inside their rig? I'm not talking about portable camping stuff and overlanding ideas, I mean has anyone been able to fit a mattress...
