Default traction control?

can it be turned off? is their a specific or location that i could splice in a switch? it would be nice to disable it when off road, say like in sand and or snow.

Do you mean other than turning of the skid control which happens as part of locking your center diff?

in the engine bay, on the brake booster, there is a plug you can pull to disable traction control.




Plug shown unpulled above. I do it every time i hit the dirt. When you get back, turn off engine, plug back in, and start again, all the traction control will turn back on. you can splice a switch in there as well.

no that only turns off the VSC, i am more interested in the TC, for off roading. VSC doesnt really get int the way, nore have i found it to be a nuisance or get in the way.
