Is that white/black striped wire a ground or hot?
Great video, thanks. Did you end up installing a switch for this?
You can always just unplug it that way you can go back easily. I am definitely with you on this. In my opinion the truck drives much better this way, especially off road /snow.
I'm with you.
For us DRIVERS' drivers, traction control is more of a liability.
Is there no other override, not even a button sequence using the driver's controls?
Interesting mod. I was testing the other day and found that in my 09' 4Runner I can kill the VSC and traction control with a factory switch in the dashboard.
A switch that from my understanding isn't present on 03-07 4Runners.
However is nice to have the option, for me specially in sand.
Greetings from Bolivia!
Got stuck in the mud this weekend on my T4R while on a trail.. the traction control was not helping and in general has always been a pain to deal with. Definitely following your mod here. Thanks hawk
Greetings from Okoboji! Center diff lock works in high range as well. That's what I do. You can do it on the fly, and it kills the traction control as well as giving you 50/50 power which is great for hooning. In fact I did just that this afternoon after all of this snow today! It does still click when it detects slip but it doesn't cut power. Besides, exercising your diff lock isn't a bad thing. Enjoying the GX content, keep up the good work!
Got plenty of snow. But now it's melting wish I knew this a week ago.
