If this is what you get when the mod is activated "Lights on dash = VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF, ABS" then yes.

When you say no switch no option that means no switched option right. That doesn't mean I dont vsc,atrac at all right.if so I would still be able to do the mod to turn that stuff off?

Do you guys use this mod when off road/rock crawling. It just seems like you would want it on if one wheel started to spin the power would transfer to the other side. And when I say on I mean not using the mod.

It's good when ATRAC starts being an *******. Also good in bad conditions, like snow, when you want some wheel spin!

If installing a locker is a good idea to have this mod?

So I went to the desert this weekend and experienced atrac for the first time. What a P.O.S. design. It should be illegal to install that without a switch to turn it off. Definitely will be doing this mod before my next trip.

With a locker you should disable it

Amazing!
New to the forum, but found this thread when searching how to disable ATRAC. This mod is truly amazing. Just did it this morning and took her out for a ride and the truck drives just like it was meant to! I want to thank the inventors for such a great trick!

Can someone tell me what wire to splice. I thought it was the white black on the two prong but just double checking
Read this starting at post # 6 on how I did mine. Red ground wire on 3 prong connector.

Wiring is such a hard thing for me to wrap my head around. I assume if i was to do what this guy did with this switch mod, it would be taking care of everything?

To be honest now after rereading several threads, I am not sure. The switch Mod was done for the FJ which prior to a certain years it did not come with a switch to turn off VSC so they are modding that switch to be on/off. On our trucks all that is needed is a temporary disruption in the VSC circuit to enable the mod until the truck is re-started so a momentary switch should work. I don't know if this switch is a pulse momentary or momentary the whole time the button is pressed as it takes about 1/2 a second or so for VSC to be disabled and if it is pulse momentary I do not know if that is enough time of disruption to enable the mod. I hope this makes sense.

I am far from familiar with your 4th gens, BUT, have you tried just holding down your VSC button and seeing if whatever you want to accomplish works?
I took a glance real quick at that FJC write up and all it seems to be doing is just that. Simply put, I think it just holds the switch down for you, lol.

I am not sure what the differences are between the VSC button and the Trac Off button, but this is what i have. With the TRAC OFF button i can hit i and spin the tires, but as soon as you let off even a little it kicks in.
So you have to press and hold the button while spinning tires? If you let go while spinning the tires, does traction kick back in?
