I have seen several posts at other forums to install a switch that disables VSC on 4 Runners. Its basically just breaking the circuit on one wire. Some were under the dash and some were at the brake MC. Anyone done this on a GX?

I understand but my question is, doesn’t locking the center diff disable traction control and allow as much wheel spin as you need?I think it's because it cuts engine power to stabilize and in some situations, you want to maintain momentum. I've never been in a situation where this was the case but others may give real examples.

I guess I should say I can’t see any real reason you want VSC off when not locked. Hope I don’t sound like a troll lol
I use 4lo + center lock in the worst of the worst low speed situations.
4hi + center lock on moderate to high speed slippery conditions like ice and snow.
4hi unlocked anywhere else - daily driving.
You want to turn w/o windup and keep momentum is the only reason I can think of to turn off VSC. Again, I am same as you I have never felt any need to disable VSC.
I installed this hack last night. Works perfectly.Yes it's been done. Slightly different pin but same principle.
Snow and Ice Performance/VSC Disable
Disabling the ABS/VSC/TRAC is quite easy. It's the ability to enable and disable at any time without restarting the engine is the one I am aiming for. If you don't mind restarting you could do this by unplugging brake fluid level sensor and plug it back. In. You do not even need to keep it...forum.ih8mud.com
