locked keys in Jeep

[5-90]

There are at least three sets of keys to each vehicle I own.

One on my keyring.
One on my wife's keyring.
One hanging on a hook in the garage, with a dogtag telling me which vehicle they're for.

Failing that, you can usually do the job with a 12" hacksaw blade with a notch in the back, and using your pocketknife to "space" the beltline trim from the window glass (which gives you more room to work.)

thats good so all the keys are still together........

the good thing about haveing the dealer make you a key is that if your key is worn out when you go to make copys some times the copys will not work
or
in the case of our 98' ML320 benz the ignition wouldnt turn because of the key being worn new blade for the key was $9.98 total, but a full key runs $286 bucks from what i was told

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but if not, it's on the door right below the mirror controls.

Me ?, sarcastic, only with a bit of humour thown in. At least it's not like one of the VW forums where I've read a few complaints about the refrigerator in the glove box not getting sodas cold fast enough, sheesh..
Also a good reason to leave a window cracked but a hidden spare key is a better idea, behind a headlight bezel, inside the rear taillight housing, theres a whole bunch of places you can tape a key..

if you ever need to get in to a pre 97 xj, just pull the hatch window out. if you get it started with a pocketknife or a screwdriver, you can just pop it out. wish i would have known that when i first got the xj, locked myself out of it in the highschool parking lot with the keys in the ignition, and the car running.

know anyone with AAA, best investment in the world. I think I pay 100 a year for my wife and myself and that includes 8 tow truck visits.......

yep, i totally agree with you, in california its worth the price of membership alone just so i can walk in and do my DMV papers there. They do everything but take DL photos. Once I told them the car I purchased was smogged already but I had no papers. ALl they did was make me sign a paper saying that I "swear" it was smogged and they gave me my stickers. Easy Peesy. Definitely worth the membership fees just to have to avoid the DMV. Nothing feels as bad as walking into a DMV and se a bunch of people behind the counter jerkin around not doing anything, only have one desk open to help and knowing you are paying their wages.
