Help needed:
I need keys for the ‘79. I have the passenger tumbler with the factory number on it for reference. Does anyone know who is able to create a key using that number. I’ve contacted Vintage Teq but haven’t heard back and wanted verification before I placed an order. Is there another option out there? Thanks for any information.
P.s this isn’t another bash Matt thread please just need another source.

Um, you have the key blank that fits the lock tumbler you have - take tumbler apart and file the key to fit the pins - basic locksmithing 101. I'd bet even the folks at the big box stores like Home Despot could do it. Ace Hardware usually has smarter people because there are less of them. A real locksmith could do it blindfolded.
Locking doors on a old LandCruiser is just wishful thinking. Kick vent and a coat hanger or the door gap you can throw a cat threw is no real security. I don't take the key out of the ignition, except to do the gas cap.

1979 FJ40: Installed the new gas tank, fuel hoses, oem sending unit, oem fuel pump, oem filter, breather hoses. Fuel system is all new except for the carb and hard lines. Also flushed and bled clutch. Clutch has good pressure now. Next up will be coolant hoses. Getting there.
Does Coolerman have them?
Also try ToyotaMatt at Vintageteqparts.com
Yep! I have an order in with him now. He's not speedy, but he has a ton of knowledge and access(?) to a load of hard to find parts.

Email Mark @Coolerman, I wouldnt mess with Toyota Matt, the endless threads on the buyers beware should be enough. Coolerman has what you need.

I have one on my 4/80 from Coolerman I can take a picture of if you want.
I got one from coolerman a couple years ago for my 79 that had been butchered with no original connectors left. He had the female connector as well and sent it to me so I could get it back to OEM spec. Here is a photo of it installed. Link to his page. Can’t beat the price or quality of Mark.

Started pulling hoses on the ‘79 Cali. I just got the order in from Cityracer. New oil cooler hoses, radiator, and heater hoses with the OG looking wire clamps. Hopefully can save the metal union and heater valve with a soak in evaporust.
