Here is what I would do.
Purchase a couple/few good 80 Series key blanks from Matt and take it to your local Toyota dealership Parts dept with VIn, your registration and ID.
Ask (possibly pay) them to pull the key code, I think most 97’s are still available and ask for the most experienced key cutter in parts to make you a new key or 2 Or 3! Trust me some people are great at this and some not!
Unfortunately if it works in all other lock cylinders and doesn’t work in the hatch, something (lock cylinder or hatch) has been changed most likely.

why buy blanks from Matt but then trust the dealer to cut it? why not have Matt send keys cut to the cylinder code? turnkey operation...pun intended.
PM him your code, send money, and in the mail you will receive keys. you can do it in your underwear!

Well it didn’t involve removing the key cylinder and the truck and key cutter would be in the same location!
Yeah sure, you could possibly go to the dealer and they would pull the code, but if you weren’t buying anything or paying for a service, I am not sure all dealers would be as cooperative!
Plus, I love Matt and have bought many parts from him, but he is usually very busy and I wasn’t going to occupy any more of his time than necessary! He might be busy shipping out one of my orders!,LOL!,,,

this discussion is intriging ,
also i should speak openly here due to our online Land Cruiser full service all things 80 Series anything globally Lock Smith shop and KEYS of the KINGDOM wonderland of OEM Wonder and beyond is in current PAUSE MODE due to us trying to catch up on the shipping out of all currect orders topic .......
make NO mistake this is our buisness modle since day 1 , if your trusting Erin and I with your 80 SERIES Keys and LOCKS , we are always thinking outside that JIS / JDM BOX ...
- WE DO NOT store or DATA-log any key codes ever , hard drive wipes its own AZZ daily of all that stuff ...
- we DO NOT Provide any KEY codes via 17 digit VIN # PERIOD ,
- please DON"T ASK us to breach the 2 rules i take pride in following , bottom line !
- HOWEVER , this is a UNIQUE topic to include a certain exception to the pure of all pure fair play ball we try hard at all the time to WIN each game ....
- if ANY Land Cruiser owner operator is locked out or lost there 80 series keyz , i WILL Drop whatever i am doing even in PAUSE MODE , to speak to them by phone , confirm there W-SERIES factory hand stamped CODE many times hard to decipher , and also help them on step by steps of removing door card and outer handle AS REQUIRED to take photos of the CODE on passenger side door lock , then CODE cut the OEM or my reproduction KEYS , and mail out OVERNIGHT EXPRESS Mail EMS USPS PONY GiDDY UP Express mail ....
- this has indeed happend more then a few times in the last say ......8-10 years ....

I was hoping to take a 30 day break from working on any of my cruisers, however the last TLCA event created new and/or sped up the timeline on a couple of items, you will likely hear from me soon!!!
Oh, thanks for all you do to help us out! Both our Cruisers as well as Prose and Verse!!!!
