Yes, you will need the Thule universal change key, # 853-1251, to remove and install new lock cores. the change key pulls down all the tumblers so the lock can be removed or inserted. The existing lock, if present, will have to be unlocked for the change key to work.

Thank you for the information! It sounds like your 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro has the raised rails and OEM crossbar setup that we'd find on the standard 2020 Toyota 4Runner. This has very low clearance under the factory crossbars so it's…

According to Thule you can use the QM3 mounting hardware, #TH04997, for the Weekender cargo box. The crossbars on your 1998 Toyota 4Runner will need to be up to 3-5/8 inches wide. I have included a picture that shows how this hardware will install.
