Replacing locks/ignition....lost keys
 
Well my keys are missing, which blows. Haven't seen or found them in about a week.

Just curious here guys, whats the cost to replace the ignition, 2 front door locks & rear hatch lock?
I've got an older 86 with manual locks & windows and was also curious about a keyless entry system but wasn't sure cause I have manual locks & such.

About $15 if you get the cylinders from a salvage yard, provided you can find a donor with keys.
Some Mfgr's can cut you a set of keys from the VIN, I'm not sure if Jeep dealers can, but might be worth a phone call.

Thats good to know.

Cant a lock smith also make new keys? Like use blanks and cut them to make new ones for my existing locks?

Yes...they pull the cylinder and copy the pin pattern. Not cheap, lol.

Damn..so I would just need to pretty much pull mine & drop those in right?
How hard is it to pull the cylinders?

doors are easy coloumn a little harder steering wheel pullers needed

Ok stupid question cause the link explains it...but basically get the wheel off, and a single bolt/screw holds it in?

I've pulled a few steering wheels but never replaced locks or anything but it seems very very simple..maybe thats why I'm worried lol. To simple, making it seem tricky. I've pulled my doors apart like 10x so I'm worried about that..but any tricks with the door cylinders?

correct on the door removing this cover makes it easer to remve the clip then just on hook the rod by swing ing the plastic clip off and take it out #6 and #13
