So today I purchased 2 85 Toyotas. One a 2wd pickup 22r and the other a 4runner 22re. Got them both for $1000.00 The 4runner has been sitting in a guys yard for 7 years. some body damage little rust and a clean interior. The pickup had a bad engine need ssome minor body work and a lot of interior help. Pictures will be up soon. 2 big projects.

Question: The 4runner does not have a key and I was wondering what the best
way to obtain a key for it is.

 

tried your 2wd's key in it yet?

 

Yeah and my friends keys as well and nothing fit.

 

I was about to suggest the same , try another toyota key, worked once for me .

 

Oh almost forgot , wheres the pics !!

 

Pictures will be up tomorrow. Just got them both home tonight.

 

you can pull the passenger side lock and get the code....

 

Try going to the dealership and having one made from the VIN.

 

I'm not sure on the older vehicles, but whenever I need a new key, I get it from the dealership. Just take your registration to Michael Toyota and they should be able to cut you one. Good luck. I'm in Oakhurst and have a good 22RE for sale if you need one.

 

like jay said, pull the tumbler, there is a code on it. that is how I got a key made for my '81...

 

Dealership is no help, like jay351 said pull the passenger side door then find a good locksmith. That was what I had to do with mine, when I bought it I had a key out of a Mazda that the PO jammed into the ignition but I could never turn the key past the lock or I would have been screwed, I called the dealer and they told me just to go to a locksmith. We pulled the lock, he ground me a new key and I was back in business

Sounds like a good deal heck $1000 for an 85 4Runner is a steal no matter the condition!!!!
