I bought the Napa Echlin one. Probably a rebranded Dorman. But I did not make it so I could use my original key. The key that came with it is a triangle. Kinda like having 2 keys. Reminds me of all the old school GM's I used to own. Round for the doors and square for the ignition.
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.

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.

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!

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.

I got this a while ago, but never posted pics. Cav Fab 4 Link. The long arms are hiding in another box.
