Thanks Romeo, I’ll check into it.

So I had time to do some more looking around at old threads, doesn’t seem to be many recent ones. I found a several mentions of the lock cylinder breaking off the license plate garnish. (Plastic license plate holder) a common occurrence. Maritimer had this to say on one thread I read, “What I...

Thanks Shadow, Messages out to both places and web addresses stored in bookmarks. Hope to be down around your neck of the woods after the 1st of the year. I’ll DM you if need be, will see what I hear back from them. Much appreciated, Bruce

Haven’t found any aftermarket so far.

No Go Well bummer. Just received this from Amayama Trading Co. Ltd. Looking more all the time like a salvage yard is the only option for this lock cylinder. What I don’t understand is why all the aftermarket outfits would stop making these. I would think there are lots of 3rd gens out there...

Bad Luck, Exactly, when you need it and nobody else seems to have one…just pay the price and move on. They’re checking availability right now, I hope they have one. The website said they have more than 1

Thanks Bad Luck, I’ll check that out. Never heard of amayama

Brillo, What do you mean by “frozen”? Like all corroded and froze up and not able to get a key in? Or do you mean they just need to be rekeyed by a locksmith? Wasn’t quite sure what you meant. Also what year? 96-98 are the same lock cylinder, (same part number) are any of them those years...

Hi All, Some friggin crackhead thought it would be a good idea to steal my 98 SR5 T4R. I had it disabled so he wasn’t able to get it running but he did tear the hell out of it. I’ve been searching all over online and on here and can’t find a lock cylinder for the lift gate on my 98 T4R. Toyota...

Here's a photo from the bottom looking up. Can't see it from the top...maybe with the hood off. I might try some JB Weld to buy me some time, that's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Although it might be a bugger to get that stuff off when it comes time to fix it correctly. Agreed, to...

Still trying to figure out how to navigate and post on here...didn't see it was that old. Sorry you're butthurt over question I asked someone else. Not trolling here fellas

Thanks frodiesel...I'll keep that in mind. They had to SO those bolts, they were not in stock. But I see ur point. I just ordered all four ball joints from village toyota and saved over $80 just on the lowers. I'll check out Camelback next time since it's close...I'm assuming that's in Phoenix.

Hi all, Great forum. A lot of knowledge floating around here. The buyers guide was invaluable when I was looking at 4 Runners. Great to know the known issues going into the process. Bought a 98 4x4, 3.4 L, AT, SR5. Has 243k, had the timing belt, water pump, and radiator replaced recently so...

What did you end up doing?

Bummer deal man....While we're on the subject of thieves. I just paid $15 for the 2 bolts and 2 nuts that hold the lateral rod on the rear diff and frame from a thieving dealer here in Prescott. New to town and I didn't feel like running around looking for a place that sold something I could...
