[QUOTE="Chris, post: 422078, member: 1"] Why would you need to disable the traction control and other electronic nannies on your JK you might ask? When turning off the traction control using the switch on the dashboard, it's not actually fully disabled. The electronic nannies will still kick in in off-roading situations. The issue with this is that when you're doing actual off-roading (meaning you aren't driving on the streets in bad weather), these electronic nannies are generally doing more harm than good, so you want to turn them off 100%, as having them activate will be problematic on the trail. This video below is based off other research online and a couple YouTube videos on how to delete (temporarily) the ESC, ESP, BLD, ABS, and all other government nanny crap (that is electronic stability control, brake lock differential, and anything else that runs for your safety including anti-lock brakes).
