I'm just asking.
What about aftermarket blanks, because old OEMs are difficult to find? Or you are only providing oem blanks?

I asked you if that was a dare because I am fairly certain that nobody has ever asked me that question here before …

But ….

Thank you for asking it and bringing up this topic ..... :wrench: :wrench: :wrench:

the time has Indeed come that your inquiry regarding 80 series aftermarket key blanks is a very relevant one because TOYOTA Axed the
90999-00163 wide metal top out of the normal ordinary way ?



then says a black top
90999-00174 Replaces it ?

NOT Supersedes it ? ?


below are the current ones i have in-hand , NOT all aftermarket keys are created equal to be krystal klear , but the ones i Do show below , have passed my Sniff-Test both Cosmetically Surface Treatment , and the Metallurgy underneath it too ....

I'm not challenging, but I asked because I also have old Toyota key blanks, but all of them are aftermarket.

Okay, let me educate you. According to my 92 owners manual, these are the three keys our trucks came with. Two master keys and a valet key. One of the master keys had a rubber like head, and the other one was full metal. The spare key was like the metal master key but a different design.

Here is why that other ssimilar Toyota key from the 90s I found on Ebay wont work.

So @MrMikeyG, that key that you linked will indeed work with the land cruiser, but it's not a key that the land cruiser originally came with, I think the 4Runner had that key.

I can confirm the key on the right will work. I had one cut at my local Toyota dealer.
 
90999-00153 is the all metal version of the 00174 and will work too.

You can also use transponder keys for the 2000-2005 MR2 Spyder for a fatter black top key.

Anyone have ideas on getting a new cylinder lock set for my 1991 HDJ81 (JDM)? Driver's side is busted due to an attempted break in a few years ago, and left side it going bad as well. Ignition is fine. I haven't been able to find an OEM set in stock on places like Amayama....

Does the JDM have reverse cut style (or whatever it’s called) normal cut key?

Yessir, based on what you're describing. Interestingly, I don't think I've ever seen a US spec 80 key haha.
my understanding is those are no longer available, but they are the same (maybe similar?) to the LX450 keys, which have had customers successfully do a complete swap over to our FZJ set up. you do need to source and send a rear hatch lock mechanism so I can key match though.

Sounds good, I'm currently in some DMs with Matt as well to see what the options are, but not opposed to swapping to FZJ specs. Here's a pic of the damage to the driver's door handle...I'm currently trying to track down part 692106002013 as that probably needs to get replaced as well. Thanks!

Edit: Does anyone know if the the cylinder part will replace everything that's damaged in this photo? When I look up pics of the door handle part, it seems not include anything inside the "circle".

One thing to be aware of - All Aussie spec 80 series used these keys, even "pov pack" models. If you could source a set of barrels from down under (IE, my side of the pond) with a matching key, you could keep it stock here.

What’s a “ POV PACK “ models ?

Is that like MAX’s all black MFP base model Interceptor , the one with only 1 front seat ?

i like the MFP GXL’s with the typical OZ Disco Ivan Stuart Pride P.I.O. Pride Factory Stripe package …

In Japan these were called a TOYOTA CENTURY …

Because it’s the only V8 Toyota had back in that Century ….as the story goes …

I was able to snatch this set earlier this year. unsure of the availability today. one thing to note. this set does not include the cylinder for the glove box. Other markets don't have the locking glovebox. I'm currently on the hunt for a brown LHD non-locking glovebox. I've seen one pop up on eBay.
