am sure this has been covered before but i'll ask anywayz. when offroading is it better off to disable the ABS for better stopping?? and if so what is involved?? is there a fuse that can be pulled to disable the ABS or what?? only ask because when i am wheelin the dang light seems to come on every time. any help would be greatly appreciated. also YES i do know searching it helps, and i have and i haven't seemed to find the answer to my question anywhere. :confused:

get some wires, a toggle switch and mini spades. Connect the wires to the spades then run to the toggle switch. The mini spade needs to go into the abs fuse. Thats all you have to do. Mount the toggle wherever. I got this off the fourwheeler magazine on page 73. October edition
 












you have to watch though. Pull the ABS fuse in anything similarly designed to an '00 and you loose the speedo.
 






For offroading, losing the speedo isn't a big deal. Toggle switch is the solution.
