but some keys are interchangeable! The keys from my 89 work in my 88's doors and ignition. The 88s keys work in the 89s doors but not the ignition. Thank god cruiser folk aren't theives! Anyone else experience this with the 60/62s?

This is true of any make of car. Depending on the lock configuration, there can be less than a hundred different keys for a manufacturer.Hildy said:but some keys are interchangeable!

JDay said:When I recovered my stolen FJ60, none of the windows or locks nor the ignition were broken. One of the cops told me you can go downtown and buy all kinds of Toyota keys on the street.
Now I have a "removable" kill switch. When I pull a plug out of the dash, it breaks the ignition circuit. I clip the plug to my keyring and take it with me.

Luckily I had a spare in the house. Looked at the keys next to eachother... The original key was so worn it must have been missing some of the cylinders in the ignition lock. Still works in the doors, so I'm keeping it at work in case I lock my keys inside.
