..while the engine is running? I was wondering if anyone has modified theirs to allow this?

Just seems like it'd be sorta handy. I've read of such ignition systems online. My friends Jeep Cherokee's ignition allows this.. but it is just from wear. It has proven handy on several occasions.

Just a thought...

Mine will do that If I start it with my wore-out stock key.

a bunch of people have that "mod" it's pretty typical for high mileage vehicles

az4x4runner

damn, I guess 160k isn't high enough.. ah well.. maybe one of these days. I wonder if there's a way to mod it..

Dare44

mine does it and i have 165k miles on mine, dont roll it tho cuz u wont be able to shut it off

Its fairly easy to do... Just wear out the key

Key on left, was easily removed from the ignition while running... Key on right - Works properly.

Get a remote car starter or a turbo timer if you want it to run without a key in the ignition...

hha like 2 days after i got my truck im driving it...and i went to turn on th ewipers, and my keys cam eout! I wa slike WTF!!!!!?? haha than i noticed i dont need em. SO now, I start the truck, take them out and put theim in the console. They anoy me when i drive cuz they hang down and make noise. So its better tha way. I scared the crap outa my girl after i new i could do it whenever i wanted. We were doin like 75 down the turnpike and i handed he rmy keys HAHAHAHA she flipped out

az4x4runner

That is too funny...

Tacoma750

im thinking about making it into a reality TV show haha. with a camera mounted on the dash. maybe that sounlds like a god idea cuz im drunk? i dunno.

az4x4runner

hehe.. that is quite possible. What would the show be about.. the reality of driving with no keys?

Whatcha drinkin anyway?

Tacoma750

it would be peoples reactions when i throw the keys out the window haha. I just downed a 12 of miller light...now im onto crown and cokes

az4x4runner

LOL now that would be pretty funny. Better than the crapola I remember on TV.. but I dunno, haven't had cable for a little over 2 years now.

Sounds good, think I am going to go pickup some Hefeweizen and lemons in a minute here.

That is one smoooth key. I have a few "spares" that I had TrueValue grind for me that never worked, I might try and make one...

i had toyota cut me a brand new key with the code off my passenger side lock cylinder. they key works perfectly everywhere and i can still take it out. my actual ignition is worn out.

to whoever said you wont be able to turn off the truck, jsut put a knife in there and turn/ voila!

az4x4runner

I don't see why I wouldn't be able to shut it off.. I'm not going to start it up and leave the keys at home while I am wheelin... most of the time I'd leave them in.. just would like the option to remove them.

Why not get one of those keychains that has a little button that you can pop off the rest of the keys, leaving the key in the ignition?

az4x4runner

Yeah I thought of that, but then I can't toss they keys in my wife's lap like Taco750 going down the freeway

I have a lock set I can sell you! As long as yours are the same as an '87 pickup (which I highly doubt).

Tacoma750

its way to much fun to pull the keys out ;-)
