Another problem with these old Yotas is that (as far as I know) none of them had locking tailgates. I took a chance on a reproduction locking tailgate latch for a Hilux of the same era, and the fit was close enough that it worked. It’s not ideal though, there’s a gap at the bottom that will need to be filled. But now the tailgate locks, and that’s what matters.
One thing I really don’t like, is now with the hatch latches, the tailgate latch, and the camper lock, my keychain has become enormous. Maybe in time I’ll be able to match some of these cylinders.
EDIT: I realized I didn’t name this locking tailgate latch. It’s a Pop and Lock PL5050.
