Hey all, new to the board…have a 1996 Prado KZJ95 3L diesel, right hand drive. In a need of some assistance…

Wondering if anybody can help me out with an issue. Ignition switch took a crap (Key won’t turn). Need a new ignition cylinder and key but, but have been unable to find one from any US or Japanese vendor (discontinued).
I thought possibly a 96 4runner key cylinder may swap out, but unfortunately not.
Would anyone have a line on one of these (new or used), or possibly what other model Toyota ignition cylinder might swap over?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is super basic and you've probably done it, but did you wiggle the steering wheel while trying to turn the key? Might take some force on the wheel.

I know a guy who has a Prado salvage yard in Sharjah. PM me if you can't solve this and I can connect you up with him.
