Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 9-pin configuration on this ignition barrel refer to?
The 9-pin configuration specifies the exact electrical harness connector design attached to the rear ignition switch. This switch layout governs key accessories, starter relays, and glow-plug circuits. Because Toyota altered the wiring plugs across the production lifecycle of the 70 Series, it is critical to count the pins on your original plug to confirm this match.
Which LandCruiser 70 Series models is this barrel set suitable for?
This lock set is designed for specific model years within the 70, 75, 76, 78, and 79 Series range (including Troop Carrier, Ute, and Wagon variations). Because lock architectures and door handle mechanisms evolved dramatically across generations—especially between the older pre-2007 leaf-sprung models and the later V8 platforms—matching the plug layout and cylinder pins to your original set is mandatory before purchase.
Does this set include matching cylinders for the front doors?
Yes, this kit includes the core steering-column ignition barrel along with the matching exterior mechanical door lock cylinders. This full kit lets you completely refresh your vehicle's locking system, returning it back to a seamless single-key setup for both starting the motor and locking the cab doors.
Will my existing factory keys work with this new lock set?
No, your original keys will not operate the new mechanisms. This assembly comes complete with its own dedicated pair of matching keys cut precisely to fit the internal tumblers of the supplied ignition barrel and door cylinders. If your vehicle features a factory engine immobilizer, the transponder chip from your old key will need to be reconditioned or reprogrammed to work with the new key blades.
How difficult is it to change out the ignition barrel and door cylinders?
It is a manageable intermediate DIY mechanical project. Replacing the door cylinders requires unclipping the interior trim panels and pulling the locking linkage clips. The steering column ignition barrel can typically be released by sliding your key into the 'ACC' position and pressing down on a small spring-loaded locking pin located underneath the cast housing shroud.
