Hello to all. So found a decent 88 4 runner. Will pick it up on Saturday. The owner currently starts it with a screwdriver. So I know I will be needing a new ignition cylinder and key. Easiest way to rekey to same key? Do they make complete sets?
thanks

 

Yes there are sets. https://www.autopartskart.com/toyota...-cylinder.html

 

make sure the VINs and title all match up! and congrats!!

 

1988 should have K series locks. You can still get Toyota ignition locks from the factory, but they superseded the part number to the S series, which means you'd have two separate keys. Not the end of the world, but kind of a pain. You can either try to source a kit that has all five locks, or score a used ignition lock that's the same series as your other locks and rekey.
Hopefully the housing the lock slides into hasn't been damaged by the lock being forcibly removed.

 

Appreciate all the help will not know more until I pick up the vehicle.
thanks
