So I just got a new to me 2005. I am wondering if there is any way to put a bypass switch in, to bypass the stability control. I did a search and can not find any thing. I like the traction controls from time to time but the stability control is really getting to me… I still want to be able to turn it on and use it for the Wify though. Anyone have any suggestions?

Usually Traction control, and stability control are all related on what triggers them to step in. Locking the center diff is one way. Another simple way is to just pull the fuse on the abs, or pull an abs plug from 1 wheel.
Those are easy, but if you're looking for a switch, you'll probably have to dive into wiring diagrams, and stuff like that.

That is exactly what I am looking for thank you!!!
"2wd ATRAC on / VSC off DONE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally got the Holy Grail of this mod...
As you may know this mod allows for VSC off, center diff unlocked operations while in 4wd. What was missing is the ability to run 2wd VSC off. I got it
To use 2wd VSC off is strictly a procedural variation of the existing mod.
The following in conjunction with the mod gets you 2wd w/ATRAC and no VSC:
- Select 4hi and allow it to engage.
- Select VSC off via the installed switch
- Select 2wd. Feel for the telltale 'normal' light thump as it reverts to 2wd. You are now in 2wd w/no VSC and fully functional ATRAC.
NOTE:- Both 4wd indicator lights will flash, the VSC off light will be steady. I drove like this and did the cycle many times with no ill effects. I did two, full 360+ donuts too
I will also add there's no audible evidence that in it's "state of confusion" it attemping to do any mode changes. If you listen carefully you can hear relays clicking under the glovebox when the 4WD is attempting to change modes. When driving in 2wd or 4wd with the added VSC off switch in use I hear no clicking.
- Before shutdown or reselecting 4wd shut the VSC off switch to off (ungrounded position)."
