You can wire a on/off switch if you want but it is not needed as this is a disable. (I put the terminal ends on so there is not exposed wire.)

Well, I didn't get to do this today, so hopefully I will be able to tomorrow. I'm also about to post another thread about my rear diff. I ran into some difficulties today.

That's probably another way to do it, but I've seen it done this way in many threads.

let me go take a picture of mine i disconnected (not cut) under the hood. brb....
so on my 2000 limited directly next to the battery on the fender side there is this box with a black metal cage around it, attached to this box is a gray plug with a few wires coming out of them. i disconnected the plug (2 years ago) and its still working (or not working i should say) great.

perhaps toyota changed stuff because my 01 doesn't have that. the DRL relay is under the dash, like the previous post.

I don't feel comfortable doing anything until someone who has an '01 just like me tells me how to do it. Until then, they're staying on (ughhhh)

On 2000 model 4Runners, you can unplug the small black box, near the battery in the engine bay, to disable DRLs.
The DRL module on '01-'02 model 4Runners is located under the driverside dash. You just cut PIN 12, which is a black/yellow wire to disable DRLs. You can always install a switch inline to turn them on and off if needed. Write up is on YT: 2002 4Runner: DRL Disable With On/Off Capability - YotaTech Forums

Now do I need to protect the wire with anything in particular? I don't want it to become a fire hazard.

Yeah, like Rock Slide said, electrical tape, or just do as smkd13 did and put some terminal ends on them so all you need to engage them again is a little wire in the middle.
