why would you use a differnt color wire? all your doing is interupting a circut with a switch, extending the circut into the cab same wire same color.

I was about to say the same. It's not a pos/neg deal.

If I had a complaint it would be that the wires need to be concealed, it looks a lil bit rigged.

Good job though. I love watching the progression of these mod ideas from concept to reality.

i dont get it, why would you want to turn off vsc

It's been thoroughly discussed, beaten to death, buried, dug up and beaten to death again, and discussed some more in the thread Osprey referenced... here.

No, mine is an AT so it does allow me to spin the tires when needed/wanted. I live in north florida and we have a lot of sand on the trails... I also grew up driving on dirt roads and it's really hard to sling mud on the person behind you when your tires wont come loose.

Now I totally understand! Makes sense!

I tried to wrap electrical tape around the wiring harness but large sections are attached to the body making it nearly impossible. I thought about opening it up and actually running the wiring through there but decided against it for obvious reasons.

So when you flip the switch you installed the VSC turns off, but you get all those error lights.

I noticed that when you put the FJ in 4-wheel high, the VSC turns off on it's own. Is there a way to trick the the VCS into thinking the 4-Wheel high is engaged so it will shut itself off, but you wouldn't get the additional error codes?

Use that 3/8" black split tubing you can buy at any hardware store or Radio shake to conceal and cleanup the wiring - only $<5

Good idea. I will do that today.

I really wouldn't call them error lights only indication lights that it is off. Much like the 4WD or locked diff lights...

I don't see the point of this mod. When I want VSC off I just put it into 4hi.

It's kind of hard to slide around a dirt road corner in 4hi.
