Disable VSC, TRAC, and ABS without damaging factory wiring

the v8 can haul a$$

95-110mph is comfortable for the v8
the v6 is struggling

however as a very smart person pointed out
the v6 engine can be found in landcruisers overseas, and it does just fine.

I've hit 114mph with 550rpm left to redline. I just let up because I hear speeding 50mph over the speed limit is bad, but I'm not buying it lol

I do know about the power difference between the V6 & V8 which is whi I drive a V8! I was wondering how this mod differed between the two when active vs in nanny mode. Regardless, I'll find out soon enough since I did the mod. It works as advertised and is about the easiest mod around.
 
So today on the trip woth a few T4R.org members up in the Tahoe area I was really impressed with my 4Runner's V8. A lifted 1st & 3rd gen had gotten stuck in the snow, the 3rd gen dug himself him trying to pull out the 1st gen that was hopelessly dug in.

So I made a smart alec remark, "hey you guys need the raw power of a V8? Hell don't even bother unhooking from the other 4Runner!" Threw it in 4Lo for some extra grunt, got some speed and "SNAP!" Pulled both 4Runners free from the snow in one go. I honestly did not think I was going to have enough traction and strength to pull the 3rd gen (off center to my passenger side) which was still connected to the 1st gen (angled and strapped to the 3rd gen on my driver's side.) all in one go.

VSC, ABS, and ATRAC were a lil excited by the fun, but otherwise was an impressive pull.

Side note- wear your seatbelt, my forehead hurts still from meeting my visor when the strap went taut! LOL
 
I just want to confirm.... The white / black wire is the only wire that is split? Thanks

i don't think i ever take the 4Runner over 75mph so i guess i am ok.
 
im new to t4r's .. i just picked up my 07 sr5 4x4 v6... and i love it.. i went 4wheelin over the weekend to test its performance.. i was very impressed at its capability in stock form with stock tires..

i did notice the (atrac i believe) engage while climbing some pretty mean hills, or was that the vsc.. im still confused on the two.. i also noticed the loss of power while runnin thru some sand beds.. which i didnt really like..

how do these mods make things better and are they really needed.. ??

The trac off mod makes it so your truck won't cut your power when your tires slip
 
can i use a 3 post switch to do this mod.. i have a fj switch and a touch sensing switch.. both are 3 prong
 
i'm just curious if these might have anything to do with TRAC or something. i know i've seen other t4r's and the factory TRAC button is directly to the right of the center diff button, which is right where these seem to want to be mounted?

yea the diagram of "controls" in the owners manual labels the 3 buttons from the left as "aux power" "center diff lock" and "TRAC" and leaves the 4th hole blank. but if my truck didn't come with a "TRAC" button, (i have an SR5) would everything still already be wired in from the factory so that all i have to do is find and simply plug in a "TRAC" button? also would this "TRAC" button disengage my VCS and TRAC?

I think so! FJ's are like that with the ATRAC. Just buy the button and rock n' roll
 
quick question here...someone may know...if i was to completely remove these system, ABS, TRAC, and VSC will the truck still start? I have converted to power steering hydroboost and completely changed my brakes. I have taken the wireloom apart and would like to remove the VSC computer altogether and all the wiring that goes with it. But i wanna make sure when i put my truck back together it will still run. BTW its a 2003 1gr 2wd
 
So with your mod described here... If I'm following correctly... You just splice a 2 prong "on/off" switch into the top (white-black striped wire) and then rock and roll good to go? No funky grounding or anything?
