In this video, we show you how to replace the lock cylinder and door handle on your Toyota FJ Cruiser.
*PARTS*
**I believe OEM handles are the way to go and they’re not much more expensive than aftermarket ones. What I found out myself and what I’ve read on Amazon reviews of these aftermarket handles is they don’t work as well as the OEM ones. What I noticed and others noticed is the handle sticks a bit and doesn’t always close all the way and sit flush with the door.

This video just saved my but! I was wondering why I couldn’t get the bolt started and after watching two other videos I stumbled on yours and that truck worked! I was immediately able to get it started and tightened! Many thanks Sir!!!!
I'm glad our video helped you out Thomas.
I usually click for the 4Runner content but this time it’s for the Hulk Hogan / 2023 Tundra mustache, brother!
Thanks Brother!
Great video
Thanks Jay Rod!
Love your videos ... just did rear axle bearings with your help and only issue was manipulating HF 20 ton press.
You see, the 2003 Tacoma has given us 20 years of care free service other than routine maintenance and now I'm in my 60's and she's starting to show her age at the wrong time. Nevertheless, I will never get rid of that truck😁
Glad you love our videos. Definitely don't get rid of your 1st Gen Tacoma. Happy Wrenching!
"Sure as shit". Way to go, Tim . Made me laugh. Really like your videos.
Thanks Barry. I was wondering if somebody was going to mention my verbiage. Glad it made you laugh.
I just installed the black door handles from 1A auto yesterday and they are not tight like the originals , they are a bit loose.
Yep, you had the same experience as we did. OEM is the way to go for the door handles.
@@TimmyTheToolmanI am putting back on my originals I just painted them in black . went to my local automotive paint store I spent a total of $60 for all that i needed to paint my side mirrors and door handles
I’m getting everything locked back in place and lock screwed in but the handle is not opening the door . I know it’s obviously not hooking up right when I put it in place but any help would be greatly appreciated
Everything we know about this job is shared in the video. Without me being there to see what's going to, I can't really advise you on what to do. Are you sure you're locking the handle in correctly? It needs to snap in place.
Did you ever solve the door handle problem?
I finally figured it out
perfect timing for me......i hope heard you mentioned 1A-auto for the handle parts. do you have enough experience/knowledge with their parts to have an opinion on quality, their prices worried me to good to be true for my rav4, nearly bought an FJ cruiser instead of my tacoma in 2006🤔
I have literally no experience with 1A Auto other than with the handles they sell for FJ Cruisers. The aftermarket handles they sell aren't as good as OEM and that's why in the video description I'm suggesting people buy handles from Toyota.
I've had good luck with A1 for our Tacoma, Rock Auto not so much.
@@Rod-db8tt Good to know. Thanks for the comment.
@@Rod-db8tt thank you for this, wanting to go through my 300,000 mile rav4 wheel bearings, struts etc. already have cv's. i want quality parts but most most sources want a friggin yacht in their yard
@@TimmyTheToolman thank you for the response
The FJ is a sexy car but if it was that or a real FJ40 I'd take the FJ40. Nice fix.
Yeah, I'd take the FJ40 as well.
If you remove a brand new door handle and lock cylinder, you'll find grease on the contact points. So lubricate the relevant parts.
I saw no signs of lubrication on the OEM handle but I did try a little lubrication on the friction points of the 1A Auto handle and it helped a little but it still had the propensity to not always close all the way. Then I read in an Amazon review of another aftermarket seller of these handles with the same complaint. It's my belief all these different sellers are sourcing them from the same supplier in China and the design is slightly flawed. When I put the OEM handle back in with zero lubrication, it did not stick in the least bit.
The new door lock cylinder had no signs of lubrication on it either. I guess I could have put a little grease on the "X" that engages with the door mechanism.
Hello brother I would like a chance to ask you a question about my truck is there a way to get in touch with u
Send me an email Miguel. mtbtim@sbcglobal.net
I don't know that I ever appreciated being able to order parts by VIN and end up with a correctly keyed lock core.
You can buy a new lock core, but it comes with a new set of keys. If you want it keyed to your original ignition and door lock key, you have to take it to a lock smith like Rey did.
@@TimmyTheToolman BMW allows you to order tumblers with pins for things like luggage. Pretty easy to set the tumbler up. It can be a PITA to extract the old tumbler--I'm pretty good at it. If you needed a coded key, you can get that too. Just need proof of ownership. Keys are cut, coded, and sent out in a couple of days. When I went on a tour of their distribution facility in Stockton, I got to see the folks in action. If someone punches the ignition, you can order a new one with a new key (sometimes best) too.
@@ian408 Yeah, Sean mentioned to me he was able to get Toyota to make new keys for him based off his VIN. I wonder how much Toyota would charge to set up a lock cylinder to your original key. I'm guessing it's not any more affordable than a locksmith. $20 seemed like a very fair price. Thanks for sharing this info.
@@TimmyTheToolman Dealer supplied aren't cheap and $20 while you wait? Cannot beat that.
@@ian408 Yeah, that's what I figured. $20 is pretty damn affordable.
Get off me homes!
Sheeeeeeeet!
