You can order a new ignition lock cylinder from Cj Pony Parts. www.Cjponyparts.com I think they are 15 dollars, andcomes with two new keys.then all you have to do is get a mechanic's manual (like a Chiltion's guide) to find out how to get the cylinder out. If you lost the keys, you'll have to drill it out. (I did when mine just plain broke on me. Took about 4 hours.) you'll have to take all the trim off the steering column. it is a bit of a pain in the butt to drill it out, but you cant get it out any other way without the keys... just cover your seats and carpet with plastic to catch all the shavings. or maybe you can call a locksmith, I dont know if they can cast a key for a car.

good luck
