Ever had to slim jim a Ranger?
 
So I locked my keys in the truck and guess what I was doing yesterday? Going to Baxters auto parts to buy a slim jim.

Now I have a spare key, I normaly always do but its a new truck and I hadn't got around to it yet.

ive locked mine out once or twice, i keep a piece of thick ground wire in the bed and just go through my sliding glass window and either fish the keys out or once i was actually able to open the door handle with the wire :D its more fun than crawling under my truck to get my spare haha

rangers are stupid easy to pop. Coat hanger bent like a J does it. Slide in with hook part to the hood. Drop about 7" turn the hook to you, pull up. I have locked my keys in before. Usually first thing I do is lock the door upon opening, well, forgot to get the keys :eek:

You need a keybox, they're nice even though I've never been locked out.

I have a hidden keybox now. But I've had to pop my lock with my radio antenna before.

I have a spare set at my house..but I really need to get just a flat key cut to keep somewhere either outside my truck, or in my wallet. Never heard of a key box, everyone I know usually zip ties it under their vehicle somewhere :P

i've locked myself out a couple of times. used a cb antenna to pop the lock up. fed it thru the door and hooked the lock and pulled... but of course i have after market lock pieces on my truck....
