Pull the 4x4 fuse. I think it's also a fuse for lights somewhere? Not sure.

You can also take out the front drive shaft, that way, even if 4x4 engages, it can't spin the front wheels.

yes. the "brown wire mod" is the easiest thing to try. as i understand it, it eliminates the AUTO 4wd engagement feature. you can simply cut the wire, or add a toggle switch to be able to turn it on/off.
