Nope but If you have a sliding rear window you might be able to get in. IIRC you just have to rap on the latch with your hand just right and it will pop open.

with your palm slap the window right behind the latch. Don't do it TOO hard, but just keep trying. I personally havnt done it BUT I have heard of guys doing it, and theifs aswell.

From now on, keep a spare key

Just flag down another Toyota owner and use their key! I helped a couple guys that were locked out that way using my key.

thats
sooooo
true.!


and 700+ in removable equipment? are you that wealthy?


locks on a toyota only keep honest people out.
get a
1. removable steering wheel
2. locking clutch pedal
3. alarm
4. good parking spot.

im in the same boat with stereo (in my bmw) but that car has deadbolts, alarm, lowjack, parked under security cameras, and nosy neighbors who stare out the windows all day and night.


but,
to open it w/a hanger, you need to push down on the locking part (look inside your door panel next time your in there, the circular lock is just a lever. pushing down on one side will raise the lock, and open the door.

hope that helps
if not, call AAA.

I got good deals on all of it but if I had to go out and buy everthing brand new it would be close to that. And when I get it in its not going to be easy to get out. Im thinking of welding a cage over the sub. lol.

use any attachment off a swiss army knife, my personal favorite is the flat head screw driver. or, hey...a flat head screw driver. or stick that coat hanger into the tiny hole once you lift up on the door handle and it pops it right up.

That is why I have one of the brake pedal locks. I guess it would still be possible to steal my truck, but it would be really hard to drive it without the brake pedal.
