Custom "ABS OFF" Switch

[erpcayne7]

I'm sure some of us have been off roading and maybe been frustrated by the VSC system kicking in during use. I have lately been disconnecting (the gray wire) and have had better off road experiences than with VSC enabled. However, I'm not sure if that has any negative effect on my vehicle (disconnecting the gray wire was recommended by another T4R.org member [thank you]). But, since disconnecting the wire provides a whole different off road experience, I was wondering if anyone else has been able to connect this to some sort of OEM switch, a lot like the center differential switch, or the RSCA OFF switch found on the left hand side of the drivers cluster.

Anyways, has anyone else been able to do something similar to that or have any advice for that?

Otrattw.com does custom switches. Just give them a shout. Great customer service.

How is this better than turning the VSC off in the normal way?

It allows using the 4L features in 4H or even 2WD. For me, the big gain is letting lock the rear diff in 4H.

BTW - As Okki said, OTTATTW will make custom labeled switches, here's the one I just had made for this

+1 for GrantK's post, but another benefit of being able to turn the ABS on and off is (when it's off) it keeps the ECU from applying the brakes to wheels losing traction (like a rear locking differential would, except without the benefit of not having to lose power). I suppose this might be a mod that be beneficial in place (I know it's not as good) as a rear diff locker.
