Out in the middle of no where and you lock your keys in your car.

I wouldn't, I'd reach into my wallet 
I keep a spare in there as well as a house key.
But if I had to, I'd do the right rear seat one, the small one, and reach inside and trip the lock.
Also, there is a way to roll down the rear window on all 4Runners, but for security reasons I don't want to mention it on here.

So far the conversion has been about 4Runners...
but being the forgetful type, I've had a few 'incidents' with my vehicle.
It's probably obvious which window is most vulnerable on an XtraCab, altough it's more that latching mechanism than the glass itself.
Mine was broken by the previous owner so I wasn't too concerned anyway.
Toyota has these latches new at AUD$60
As many people probably already know, 2nd gen vehicles were the first lot to be built with protection around the locking mechanisms.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about the entire range?
Just to boost the thread...
Does anyone keep a spare key under their vehicle?
Has anyone soaked their alarm remote? what about disabling the alarm?

Back when I had a Camry, I once went out to the local tidepools and fell in. As you know salt water and circuit boards... not good bedfellows. I didn't know anything about my alarm at the time and just drove all the way (10 miles) home with my alarm blaring.
So much for neighborhood watch

hehe Yeah I don't keep a spare under the truck either... really, I don't...
It seems whenever someone needs it, it's fallen off!
I once went swimming (so to speak) with someone else's car remote... simply came back to the vehicle, pulled the alarm fuse and away we went

Locked my keys in Yoda once at the top of Hansen creek. Since the landcruiser has those footwell vents, I opened one of them and used a loooooong forked stick to wriggle the key chain out of the ign and then opened the door.
About a 7 mile walk to the highway if I couldn't get it. whew!

i have a friend who used to have a '78 pickup. one day, me and him both drove our trucks somewhere, and he ended up locking his keys in. so, after a bit of thinking, i pulled out the keys from my '84, and tried them on his door
they worked
after the door opened, i tried the key in the ignition, where the truck promptly started
