So, pretty self explanatory...keys are inside, i'm outside...any tricks to getting back inside?...

Break the window. Unlock door and voila.

You could try to use a coat hangar.

I was able to use a wooden wedge to open the passengers door open enough to get a coat hanger (or long wire) in with a loop on the end and hook the handle on the inside. twist and pull the wire until the door opened. took about 20 min. hooking the handle was easy its twisting and pulling just right to get the door to open. good luck!

Vent window? A rock, a spark plug? AAA?

my jeep is a 96, will the door open if i snag the inside handle?...i've never had to break into my jeep before so i dunno if it'll open if it's locked and i pull the inside handle.

If you have a vent window go through the vent window and just use a hangar to hit the lock.

did you get in? how?

Yep, i did this on my '90 Cherokee 2x (in one week, ugh, don't ask). Works like a charm. Just go slow and be gentle

Or call a locksmit and suck up the cash and have em slim jim it. It's old enough a slim jim will work.

^x2 Locksmith. AAA will get you in for free! This is why I always carry two sets of keys. 1 set hangs from my belt on a carabiner. I was locked out of my vehicle once and had to wait for AAA. As soon as I got in my car, I went and bought 20 carabiners. I have 1 for each set of keys. 2 sets of keys for each vehicle. My wife won't carry a spare key though.

I carry a spare key as well for that very reason. I locked myself out of my car with no phone in a part of town that I really didn't want to be in but needed gas bad. Clerk wouldn't let me use his phone because he wouldn't unlock or open the security window. They also didn't have a pay phone so I had to walk to a payphone and make a collect call to my wife and have her call AAA..That was an interesting experience to say the least. It was a good thing I could legally carry a gun..

That's why I'll be packin' rather than be'in' packed away!

the back glass on the lift gate pops out really easy and goes in really easy just pop it out

When I was driving my Bronco regularly I kept a spare key in my wallet. Best decision I ever made.

I personally would brake my window, But if you do not want to spend the money on a window attemp a coat hanger or if you can wait get a slim jim from ebay. After you get do what i do i have a spare key in a secret place under the jeep. works great! or keep a spare in your wallet
