hamkid Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) My rig was stolen a few weeks ago. I got it back 2 hours later because I had an Apple air tag in it They pulled the back door out of the trim and wiggled in. They started it with scissors formed in the shape of the key. I can’t put my key in now, I have to use the scissor to start it. Edited December 17, 2023 by hamkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 So sorry this happened but after all your work glad you got it back. Ignition lock cylinders for your truck are readily available and not expensive but I think installing them can be hard. I would check for YouTube videos about it to see how difficult it is.

Toycollector47 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Glad you got her back!!! in all reality, these ignition tumblers are old and getting worn out. I have what I refer to as my ‘magic Toyota key’. It is from my 1986 pickup, but has started 7 different Toyota trucks, (including my 93 4Runner which has a totally different key shape). It’s also started a Corolla, and a farm tractor (can’t remember the manufacturer) Any chance they’ll get the thief and press charges?

hamkid Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 They got the guy. I was on the phone with dispatch while I tracked the truck in real time because he had his iPhone next to the air tag. It was wild we confronted him and he wouldn’t leave, the cops came and got him.

Odyssey 4x4 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I put this window in mine, it’s nice to have the privacy. Although if you have a permanent screen door, you won’t be able to open or close the window shade while door is shut.

fred heath Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 3 hours ago, hamkid said: Covers this wire to this plug on the engine That’s your oil pressure sender. The boot is probably factory protection for the connection. Replace if it makes you feel better, but not necessary. That wire has to be connected to the sender if you want your engine to run.

fred heath Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 You can easily install a simple toggle switch underneath the dash, that stops power to the fuel pump. Earlier in this thread we identified your oil pressure sender and single wire that attaches to it. This wire acts as a ground for the fuel pump. Toyota designed the system so if you loose oil pressure, the fuel pump will shut down. This prevents damage to the engine. Just interrupt that wire with any on/off switch. In the off position the fuel pump will not operate. Easy anti theft device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred heath Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 4 hours ago, hamkid said: Can you direct me to any videos or literature about how to install the toggle switch? It’s really simple. Buy any SPST toggle switch. You could even use one made for residential electrical. Any simple on/off switch. Two terminals. Cut the oil pressure wire in half. Using two separate 12V wires, wire one to each side of the cut wire. Run them through the firewall to any location under the dash. Attach each wire separately to the two terminals on the switch. Most switches are labeled on/off. In the off position, the fuel pump ground is interrupted. The fuel pump won’t run until you switch to the on position. You can also google procedure for installation of 12V automotive toggle switch. Very simple process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
