So I was locked out today...

[CJ the noisemaker]

And I broke out the window:D. So there is another $20 to be put into the Mutt:rolleyes:.

Btw, I may be on the verge of fixing my carburetor!
:eek::thumbsup: YAY!!!!!


Youtube video is uploading as we speak.

[freeincolorado]

For future reference, it takes all of 10 seconds and a wire coat hanger to jimmy the lock on these.:D

[CJ the noisemaker]

:eek: OMG, I had no wire!!?!

Lol, I wish I did, but now I know better...

[freeincolorado]

I keep a wire coat hanger stashed on the undercarriage for just such an occasion.:thumbsup:

[ralf]

I don't lock my truck. Nothing in it to steal and who would want to steal it?

[mrtazwrench]

I have glass for that, but I'm sure most of my frames are rusty.

[gladman]

I can't get mine to lock! so, there you go... if I could break a window to get them to work, I'd prolly do it.

Wow. And you broke one of the hardest windows to replace.

I won't make fun of you. I did some stupid things when I was younger, too. But lets not talk about that.... :rolleyes:

Go to Ace Hardware and get yourself an extra set of keys and one of those magnetic key holders. Put the door lock key in there and you're set. Even if a thief finds it, they still can't start the truck easily, so hopefully they'll move on to an easier target.

Do you mean hard to trace, or hard to install? and my ignition is so jacked up, a thief can hop into my truck. And without a key, turn the ignition, and drive off...

[JeepNOFEAR]

He means hard to install. They are a B.

I will... Plus you made a video and uploaded it to YouTube...

[CJ the noisemaker]

He means hard to install. They are a B.Maybe I should have went for the main window, that is scaring me now :hide:

[CJ the noisemaker]

I will... Plus you made a video and uploaded it to YouTube...Is that bad?
Beside making fun of me, I should have gave it more thought :p

[jking03]

well now i know how NOT to open my waggy if i ever locked the keys in...
also i could hear the engine running on the video and i thought mine was the only one that sounded like that

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

Me and some buddies went camping a couple years back and I locked the doors with the keys in the ignition...I just had MattMopar440 reach through the floorboard and pull them out lol :thumbsup: :rolleyes:

[CJ the noisemaker]

But now I have to ask, what makes removing the window assemblies difficult? It looks as though screws hold the top rail in place, then three screws hold in the vent assy., then it looks like a pull-and-replace procedure from there.

[Dirt Wag]

also i could hear the engine running on the video and i thought mine was the only one that sounded like thatThat's funny - I was thinking the same thing.:) Why do they do that? People always ask me "you got a cam in that thing?"

[FSJ Guy]

Sorry, yes. Hard to install. You have to remove the main window first. It's more of a PITA vs. the main window.

[MischiefMan]

I just like that you had your camera AND tripod with you when you locked yourself out. LOL!

[CJ the noisemaker]

I just like that you had your camera AND tripod with you when you locked yourself out. LOL!I was going to take some pictures outside of the truck, and by reflex, locked the door.

[lost1]

Don't feel too bad about it... learning experience, right? I'll admit to having busted in a window to get into a car. Though admittedly it was when I was drunk, and I used a fist instead of something more sensible. *winces*

Hindsight may be perfect, but when that isn't available its always worth thinking twice about. ;)

My "key" (pliers) are on the seat. IF anyone can get it started, they better figure out how to turn the fuel pump on as well or they aren't getting 1/2 a block in my J10. Locking the doors makes no difference, anyway. The passenger door won't open (wedged shut by a rather large boulder) and the window that CJ broke can't be locked (handle/lock disappeared about a year ago).

[diazj]

best way to unlock it is to take the antenna off a nearby chevy and bend it to open the locks screw the coat hanger :fsj:

[dajeeps]

don't feel to bad.oncei had fished my keys out from the passanger wing window from the ignition.my fishing pole was the only thing i had oh and a pocket knife to pry the window open.didn't help it started pooring down rain,when i realized the keys were in the ignition.

[DerekTJeep]

So, why did you have to lock it?? Even if it had a turbo engine, no one would want to steal THIS rig!!!

[fulsizjeep]

Sorry, yes. Hard to install. You have to remove the main window first. It's more of a PITA vs. the main window.Yup, just about have to gut the door to change that out.

Coat hangers are your friend when owning a FSJ. :p

I don't advocate vandalizing other vehicles for a way in either... :rolleyes:

[jking03]

you could open the wing window with visecrips unless youve got kungfoo grip with plires... clamp down on the outside little knob for the wing window from the outside and turn slowly back and forth till it pops off the rail inside and your in.. did this to my chevy truck and my semi ive loocked myself outta both more than once lmao

LOL you are so right, co-worker locked his keys in his S10 blazer he and the foreman spent 20 minutes trying to open withe coat hangers. I called AAA card took the guy 30 min. to get there, but he was in the car in less than a minute!

[FSJ Guy]

My drivers door has a weak spring. When I close the door sometimes it locks. I closed it once, and found out what was going on, lucky for me the rear window was down :rolleyes:

I may not lock my truck but I don't leave the keys in the ignition. I drop them on the floor.

If you need to break a glass, pick the cargo glass.
