I could pull my key out when the Jeep one running. I figure I better replace it before something bad happened.
That's why I replaced mine. A couple of times I left it overnight after pulling the key out in the accessory position

Mine came with two round keys like the Jeep key, just no logo. I re-keyed the cylinder to the originals and will have copies made of the dealership key and keep that one as a master for later copies. The keys I've been using are pretty worn.
I didn't want to take up more space in my pocket with another fat plastic-handled key. If I want to feel nostalgic and use the two-key system I'll just drive my old Bronco.

I have this thing about keys. The keys I get (with a new to me car, or new place) I have copies made. I put the "originals" in the junk drawer. Thinking making a copy from a copy from a copy eventually gets you to a place where the key just won't work. Wish I had something older to drive. Always looking for that mid '70's to mid '80's Cutlass, Regal, Grand Prix, or Monte like the ones I used to own back then on Craigslist. Wish I held on to just one of them.

Indeed. I do that as well and would have done it with my XJ had I been the original owner. The keys for it were already well worn when I bought it used so there wasn't much point.
This is especially a good practice with newer cars that have chips in the keys. They usually require two programmed keys to program a new copy, so having three programmed keys around is crucial in case you lose a key. I don't want to pay the dealer $150 to program a new key!
This week is going to be like Christmas for me haha. Yesterday, got some tires for the Nissan. Today, got XJ parts. Front bumper, front bumper brackets, front bumper caps, lower air deflector and rear bumper caps. The rest of the week I will have rc car stuff trickling in.

Well I have sold about 10 of my RC cars so far. Still have 10 or so left that I am selling. But I figured since they are are older and hard to find parts for, I needed a newer up to date one to bash. So I got a HPI Savage flux (will be here on Friday). I had 2 other Savages in the past and they were indestructible so I hope this one is too. BTW - Axial is going out of business soon. I had the RR10 Bomber from them and didnt like it. The whole rock crawling rc thing isnt for me. I like to go fast and catch big air haha.
