Phone AND extra key inside.
I'm going to share this little trick with the OP and everyone else. It was told to me by a guy I used to work for.

Keep your extra key in your spouses car. Keep her extra key in your car.

Then no matter where each of you are, you have the other persons spare key and can bring it to them if they get stuck.

I was wondering if anyone took notice when I pulled out the 16 pound sledge hammer to break it . Traffic light & everything.

Oh wow that's breaking my #1 rule: never have anything easily accessible on the truck that can be used to break in. I am reminded of it every time I see a hi-lift jack bolted on the side of an SUV.

Kinda hard seeing I use it at the ranch.

Tools, bolt cutters, Honda generator, chain saw etc.

Live in Texas out in the country & almost never leave it parked anywhere too long.

Out here people have guns & backhoes lol

So my key fell out of my pocket at the PO Box.
Attached to my Warn winch strap it was caught by the seat.
Running with my dog inside I took a hammer to the LR vent glass.
Manual locks so no remote open from Jeep Wave.
Found out part number 68271659AF is on serious back order and not even available anywhere in the US.
They are all being used to build new Gladiators.
Used doors from the Junk yards are $1500-$2000.
Should have called a locksmith 😩

Need a rear door window seal from delivery. Been 3 weeks and no notice.
