I know someone has run across this before. Is there someplace that you can get a replacement ignition cylinder, 2 door lock cylinders and rear door cylinder that are a set and all keyed alike. At the present time I have 1 key for the ignition and a separate key for the door locks. Help!

 

Other than Toyota, I don't know of any. I replaced my ignition cylinder a few years back, and didn't like the idea of having two keys. Toyota gave me a quote for the package...can't remember what it was, but it was too much for me at the time. Unfortunately with how old these trucks are getting, they may have discontinued them since then...not sure. My door locks have been getting stickier and stickier over the years, but I've been able to keep them from freezing completely so far by spraying graphic lube in them now and then, and occasionally taking them apart and really cleaning them.

But I do have two keys now, one for ignition and one for the doors.

 

Update: at least through McGeorge Toyota, there is no "keyed" set. You have buy them all individually and have a locksmith key them, according to an email from them. I swear McGeorge sent me a part number and quote for the entire package, gas cap & all, keyed the same. But that was 4 years ago and I didn't save the email. I just bought right and left lock cylinders from Toyota, but went Napa for the ignition because it was over $117 OEM, compared to $40 from Napa. Door cylinders were the same price so I went OEM. Kinda wish I had just spend the extra money on OEM ignition now...locksmith couldn't key the ignition the same as the doors. Dimensions are different enough that door keys wouldn't fit ignition and vise-versa.

So while I won't need three keys, one for each door and one for ignition, I will still need two keys. $60 is not insignificant to me, but assuming my truck keeps running a few more years, it would have been worth it. Not too late, I guess.

 

I got a Thai made matched set that work well for my '85 a while back from ebay, I know there's a thread about that route somewhere...you could check on ebay.

 

I like OEM...but yeah. Depending on what kind of quality you're looking for, aftermarket can be totally adequate. One other thing I need to do now is figure out how to gut the gas door lock cylinder. I don't need it to lock around here, but I don't want it completely free and flapping in the wind. I'm hoping to pull out the cylinder this weekend and see if I can get it so any Toyota-sized key will fit in and turn the catch mechanism inside. Because right now I do need three keys...ignition, doors, gas.

 

I'm away from my rig for the next week or so so I can't take a photo, but I left the old lock cylinder on my tank flap (no key for that), also put a locking cap on, important in my area, and was able to rig a spring to keep the flap closed. It's worked great for a few years at least, hasn't loosened up. I do need to use a key in the cylinder just to get the leverage to open the flap, plus have to wedge the cap in the to keep the flap open while I'm messing with the card reader on the pump, but mostly a trouble free set up.

 

I can mostly picture what you've got going. Thanks for the description. I have a few ideas, and I'm definitely adding that one to the list.

 

Well I pulled the gas door lock cylinder over the weekend. I was definitely winging it...

I ended up prying off the cap, pulling the cylinder out of the casing, pulling all the wafers out (wafers- a term I just learned from the locksmith), then put it back together minus the wafers, which are what determine that only a certain key shape will fit and turn the lock. I was way too impatient prying off the cover and bent it all out of shape, so there was no way I could get it back on. Otherwise it all went together fine. So now it still has the little lever on the inside to latch the door closed, but I can stick any ignition/door-like key into it and it'll open.

Only problem I can see is in cruddy conditions like winter, mud etc. The cover definitely protected the innards. Now it's open to contamination. Time will tell. Even if this is just a couple-year temporary fix, that's cool.

 

Curious what a "decent" cost is. For my gas door, but also because I just realized last week that my passenger airbag is now permanently set to "off". I don't have any original keys to my truck anymore, so I can't switch the airbag back & forth, unless I want to hire a locksmith...

 

while I haven’t tried other keys, I can’t imagine Toyota went thru the expense of keying the airbag switch to match the ignition. I would bet it is like your hollowed out gas door, and any key shape or screwdriver would work.

 

I wish! I tried my door key, since it's an actual Toyota key unlike my ignition key, and it wouldn't go. And we know what can happen if you force a key into a lock...might be there forever. I may very gently try again, but it seems to actually be keyed along with all the other locks.

 

My ‘99 doesn’t seem to have the keyed switch to shut off the airbag so I can’t test the various Toyota keys I have lying around.

 

Mine either. No key switch for the passenger airbag. Not that I've been able to find, anywho.
Nice thing about the keys I have, though...The ones for the 87 are smaller by a fair amount than the ones for the 99. No way for me to confuse them. The 87 only has one key for everything, where the 99 has a key with a black plastic top on it for the doors, and the ignition is bare metal all the way around.
In other words, the keys are very unique for each vehicle, and each use. No possibility of confusion. I even still have, and use, the original key for my pickup, that came with it from the factory. A bit worn down now, but still functional. Toyotas never cease to amaze and impress me.

It would be obvious! Right on the dash, just to the right of the instrument cluster, near the hazard button. I keep mine on "off" because I mostly drive alone. But if it's going to be stuck in just one position for the rest of time, I'd rather it was stuck "on".
